Supporting young people in hardship in Northumberland to enhance their educational opportunities

The Henderson Family Fund prioritises support for young people in Northumberland experiencing hardship to enable them to undertake educational opportunities. Grants are available for individuals aged 16-25 who wish to take up an educational course and face financial barriers to this. Grants of up to £1,000 are available which help remove barriers to study, examples include course fees, rent, travel, or tutor costs. Applications for individuals must be made by voluntary or community organisations, on behalf of the individual. The applying organisation is wholly responsible for the grant. Grants are awarded with the condition that evidence of enrolment/attendance and progress/completion is provided.
