Bright Futures Fund

The Bright Futures Fund provides grants of approximately £2,500 for projects helping young people to engage in positive activities. The fund is specifically targeted at young people facing difficulties or disadvantages because they are not in employment, education or training; young people who have offended or are considered to be at risk of offending; young people affected by bereavement and young carers. The fund was set up in 2008 by a husband and wife who wish to provide support to organisations that are helping young people to engage in positive activities. The fund awards an average of £2,658 per funding round deadline, with one funding round per year. Applications are open to non-profit organisations working in Cambridgeshire.
