How to apply

We aim for the application process to be as simple as possible and to avoid delays it is important that you send us all the information we require. Each application is considered on an individual basis so it is in your interest to provide as much information as possible to support your request.

As we are a small charity we are keen to ensure that our funding is spread as widely as possible. We do not generally fund large organisations with healthy cash reserves, or where funding goes into one large central pot, we prefer to fund specific projects. The Charity is unable to cover capital costs for projects. 

Currently, we are awarding individuals between £50 and £155 and organisations between £220 and £450 dependant on how many young people are involved.  This matrix is generally applied, however, the Board of Trustees will consider exceptional circumstances as each application is reviewed on an individual basis.  Please consider this when completing your application. 

We like to ensure that our funds are used towards the deliverable end of a project so the money directly supports the young people it is intended to help. The Trustees will be looking for applicants to be actively seeking funding via alternative sources i.e. fundraising events and making applications to other prospective funders.
