The Trust is an education charity.  It makes grants of around £1 million each year towards projects for children and young people under the age of 25 who are from disadvantaged backgrounds or disabled.

 

Grants can be made for projects throughout the UK.  Overseas projects are also funded, but only through UK registered charities.  Organisations based outside of the UK are not eligible to apply.

 

Please read our guidelines carefully before making an application, including the section about what we cannot fund.

 

The Grants pages give more information about the grants we make and about our guidelines.

 

 

PLEASE NOTE

 

Due to a steep increase in the number of applications, we have felt it necessary to review our guidelines and priorities.  New guidelines were issued on 17th June 2009 and come into immediate effect.

 

Please ensure you download and read the up-to-date 

guidelines before making your application, including the list of exclusions.
