The Fund exists to offer modest grants to young people at junior / secondary schools or universities who want extend their education, enabling them to achieve their ambitions, but who for various reasons could not otherwise afford to do so.

We consider applications from a wide range of backgrounds and for many purposes including, but not limited to, dance, languages, music, sport and travel. Projects that we support are usually those which will achieve at least one of the following:

Furthering the education of the individual

Enabling the development of the individual’s existing skills or developing a new skill

Enabling the individual to volunteer in a project that will help the comunnity

 

In doing so we believe that young people gain useful insight and gain in confidence.

We fund individuals rather than organisations.

Successful applicants are asked to provide feedback on their experiences, to inform us about what they have done and to explain how it has benefitted them and the people with whom they have worked.  click here

They are requested to send a short written report with some photos if possible (and a CD copy), from which extracts may feature on our website.
