With grant support from CPC's Giving Back charity initiative, Preston College has turned an underused area into a successful social hub for SEND students.

Our Giving Back funding support recently contributed to developing a sensory room at CPC member institution, Applecroft School, in Hertfordshire, England.

CPC is proud to share how Giving Back grant funding has helped CPC members York College launch a state-of-the-art wellbeing space for students this January.

CPC's Giving Back funding window opened on Monday 19th January, with applications welcomed from CPC members through to the closing date of Friday 27th February.

Crescent Purchasing Consortium is proud to confirm that our next Giving Back charity window will open for funding applications on Monday 19th January 2026.

As a purchasing consortium, buying lies at the heart of what we do, with CPC helping to facilitate better buying and Giving Back to education via purchases.

One of the most rewarding parts of working at CPC is knowing our efforts can ultimately support the realisation of scores of game-changing Giving Back projects.

While funded projects and purchases can stand the test of time, a particularly impactful event may also make a big difference to learners' education experience.

With our Giving Back initiative allowing us to help countless young people around the UK, we are delighted to showcase a host of purchases, projects and events.

Our latest window will close on Friday 28th February, thus institutions with SEND/wellbeing/absenteeism funding needs are advised to submit applications ASAP.

There's still time to apply for support from our latest funding pot, as CPC's charity initiative prepares to back SEND, wellbeing and anti-absenteeism projects.
