Lawrence Fund

The Lawrence Fund provides grants to support disadvantaged people in the study of horticulture or music, particularly those studying music therapy, and young musicians in North Cumbria. This fund was established by a private individual to support talented young musicians and those seeking education in horticulture or gardening. Priority is given to projects that support young talented musicians, include the study of music therapy, or involve education in horticulture or gardening. Examples of supported projects include additional tuition costs for talented young individuals, music therapy classes for groups with dementia or mental health issues, concert costs for community choirs, and gardening-for-health projects by charitable organisations. The fund is administered by Cumbria Community Foundation, a charitable organization connecting people who care with causes that matter in the Cumbria region of England.
