Mary Grave Trust Fund

The Mary Grave Trust Fund provides grants for young people aged 11-21 who were born and are residing in the old county of Cumberland (pre-1974 boundaries) to support travel abroad for educational purposes. The fund is specifically designed to assist those from low-income households or facing challenging circumstances. Priority is given to young people residing in the borough of Workington or the urban district of Maryport. Supported activities include school or youth organization trips abroad, gap year activities, and work-experience opportunities abroad. The fund aims to provide educational travel opportunities to young people who might otherwise not be able to afford such experiences, helping them broaden their horizons and gain valuable international experience.
