Lawrence Atwell’s Charity
Grants are available for young people from low-income backgrounds, to help them gain vocational, accredited qualifications.
We offer grants from £100 to £1,500 for people aged 16 to 26, to take courses (up to level 3) that will help them move into employment. Funding can be given for course fees, equipment/materials, travel costs and childcare.
The charity does not give grants for secondary education, university or postgraduate degrees or courses at a private dance/drama college. We also don't give grants for general welfare purposes.
