Opportunities: Children and young people

Grants for smaller UK registered charities that are providing services in the UK in a range of areas including the relief of hardship, education and young people, physical wellbeing, care for the elderly and the environment & conservation.

Grants from £50 to £1,000 are available for individuals, charities and/or other organisations for children and young people aged 11-25 in the UK for recreational and leisure time activities that develop their skills, capacities, and capabilities, and enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals. In particular, the Trust wants to help fund a young person’s “adventure of a lifetime”

Grants of between £500 and £1,000 are available for locally-based UK registered charities with an annual turnover of under £100,000 for children's play schemes this summer

Grants of up to £500 are available to young people or teams of young people aged 30 and under in the UK who want to use volunteering or community service to improve their community.

Project grants for smaller UK registered charities working with children and young people aged 16 and under in the areas of abuse, addiction, caring for sick and disabled adults, and homelessness.

One-off grants of up to £50,000 are available for larger UK charitable organisations and groups for projects that relieve poverty and assist with the education of young people in rural areas.

A limited number of small grants are available to individual young people aged 25 and under in England and Wales who are in need or are experiencing hardship or distress.
