Kipling Fund for Younger People

The Kipling Fund for Younger People provides grants for individuals and charitable not-for-profit groups helping children and families facing disadvantage in Cumbria. Established from a legacy from a Cumbrian farmer, this fund prioritizes support for young people with mental health needs, children and young people generally, and households on low incomes. The fund has supported various projects including youth groups, equipment for family groups, educational projects for teenagers, accredited learning programs, and young carers' projects. Grants normally range between £500 and £1,000 over one year, providing crucial support to vulnerable young people and families in the community.
