GRANT SCHEME FOR STUDENTS AND TRAINEES
"Without people like yourselves there to give a helping hand, young people like myself wouldn’t have the opportunities in life that they deserve. I am happy to inform you that I have been accepted for a further year to study event management and music business. Again thank you ever so much for your help and kindness, and I hope your trust runs for many more years and helps many more people."
From a thank you card from a student.
The grant scheme for students and trainees helps young people facing severe financial and other difficulties, typically in the absence of a family safety net or parental support, acquire academic, trade or professional qualifications that are so essential in today’s world. Young people of this nature often have emotional problems and an interrupted educational background, and without support they can frequently drift into aimless lives or worse.
Last year we provided 188 students with grants totalling £273,000 for courses as diverse as bricklaying, the performing arts, business studies and medicine
