About This Opportunity
The Dora Beeforth Memorial Fund provides grants for young people aged 11-21 facing challenging circumstances to participate in sport and travel activities, and for charitable organisations providing services to young people to achieve this aim. The Fund was established in memory of Dora Beeforth, wife of the Foundation's first Director, who was born in Cumbria and attended the Lakes School in Windermere. She enjoyed the outdoors, was a volunteer warden with the Lake District National Park, and a volunteer with Cumbria Youth Theatre, and was also a keen runner and orienteer. The Fund was created in her memory to enable children and young people to experience activities and opportunities which they otherwise would not be able to afford. Challenging circumstances include low-income households, recent bereavement, terminal or chronic illness, care-experienced youth, those experiencing domestic violence, young carers, those at risk of school exclusion, or at risk of becoming NEET.
