Children, young people and education
We help young people in education or training to achieve their potential and maximise their talents.
Our grants can fund or part-fund:
- Computer equipment
- Educational assessments
- School fees – in exceptional circumstances
- Higher education
- Apprenticeships
- Childcare costs
- Support for exceptional talent
This is not an exhaustive list of the support available, and all support is considered on a case by case basis.
The grants we have received have lifted a huge weight and eased a huge burden from my shoulders. It’s reassuring to know that whatever happens to me, support for my daughters will continue for as long as they are in education.
TalentAid
Our TalentAid programme supports children and young people who are exceptionally talented in music, sport or the performing arts.
Grants can be awarded to assist with ongoing costs such as sports coaching, advanced music lessons or the purchase of one-off items such as sports equipment or a musical instrument.
