What - and how much - we fund

We fund, or part-fund in more expensive cases, a whole range of things. Here is just a handful of examples funded over the past few years:

• Books for a degree;

• Dance classes;

• Individual music tuition;

• Field trips and expeditions;

• Travel to a college course that would otherwise be impossible to get to;

... and more.

Schools in the area can also apply for funding.   

Our average award is around £200. That can still really make a difference - here are just some of the comments we've had recently from those we have awarded funds to: 

“Many, many thanks for the grant you awarded to our daughter, this is over and above anything we expected…  she is very talented in her music and this will enable us to get the support and teaching she needs to progress further.”  AE

“The cheque you sent will be a great help in paying for our daughter’s dancing lessons.  She is very excited and encouraged by the fact you have taken an interest in her dancing.”  MR
