Beverley Charitable Trust Fund

The Beverley Charitable Trust Fund provides grants for young people in West Cumbria to help raise educational attainment and career aspirations by enabling access to study or vocational training. The fund supports young people in hardship, with priority given to those living in Allerdale and Copeland, as well as voluntary and community groups directly benefiting young people. Eligible projects include academic study or courses to improve practical skills or personal development, activities that are part of a further or higher education course, activities leading to vocational qualifications, purchase of books, materials and computer equipment, bursary support, and travel costs. Grants may be awarded as a single payment or as a series of awards paid over up to three years and dependent on progress. Household income is taken into account when assessing applications from individuals.
