Young people's grants

Find out if you are eligible, what we fund, and how to apply.

We award grants to young people from our various trust funds. Any Barnardo’s service user under the age of 25 can apply. 

There are a number of areas that can be funded:

  • education and training
  • leaving care
  • holiday and adventure
  • opportunity
  • sea training
  • poverty and hardship
  • disability

There is no maximum amount that you can apply for but funds are limited and we try to help as many people as we can.
