John Goore Fund - Individuals

The John Goore Fund provides financial support to individual residents of Lydiate, a local area in Merseyside, UK. The fund supports individuals who are entering or continuing with higher education or training, including vocational training. It also assists individuals who consider themselves disadvantaged due to disabilities or physical/mental health issues, as well as substantial carers for another individual. Adults who need to retrain after unemployment or redundancy can apply for grants to help them gain new skills for new employment. Award amounts vary by category: £1,000 for individuals pursuing education/training, £250 for carers, and £500 for those who are disadvantaged. The fund covers expenses such as books, travel costs, study aids, short courses, apprenticeship costs, interview costs, and equipment. For carers, it supports respite activities, travel expenses, and additional living costs. For disabled residents, it covers small home improvements, travel to community activities, and items that alleviate disadvantages.
