Funding source(s): Barrow and Geraldine S. Cadbury Trust, Barrow Cadbury Fund Ltd. Applicant overview: CW (formerly Coventry Independent Consultative Agency and Independent Community Work and Adult Education Agency, Coventry) was established as a pilot project in 1973 to provide community advice on legal, housing, planning, public health and economic problems from an independent perspective not associated with local government. CW aims to provide 1) support for workers and the unemployed and tenants and residents to gain strength through collective action, 2) assistance in examining issues faced by labour and community organisations and 3) make relevant skills and information available to workers and community organisations. Nature of support: In 1978 the Trust made a grant of £500 to a member of CT staff for a conference on inner-city problems in the United States. In 1978 Trustees agreed to raise the annual grant total by £2,450 for the last two years of CT grants. Annual support was extended for three years from 1980. Several other grants to Coventry organisations are also included in this file. Minutes: B&GSCT 4633, B&GSCT 4665, B&GSCT 4692, B&GSCT 4728, B&GSCT 5091, BCF 1722.
