Our grants are transforming lives.


We're all singing to the same tune.

When people have the support they need, they can achieve. From buying tools for learning, to improving access to cultural sites, to making learning environments better, our grant recipients consistently show that they can help themselves and others when given the chance.

  • “The students have enjoyed using the new equipment during the impromptu musical jam after the instruments were opened; they have also begun to use them in their sessions.”

    – Jemma Wood, Programme Area Manager: Supported Learning, Leicester College; Resource and Facilities Grant recipient

  • “This trip would be a golden opportunity for the students to engage and build relationships with a national company so that they can potentially help to fill gaps in the local job market.”
