Grants of £500 are available to support people under 30 years old who, through volunteering or community service, aim to enhance the lives of others, particularly those most marginalised by society.

Trustees meet four times a year to review applications. This often means there can be a wait to hear back about the success of your application.

You are encouraged to submit well in advance of a trustee meeting  date.  Applications received less than three weeks before a meeting will roll over to the next one.

Funds are likely to reach applicants 1-2 months following board meetings.
