The charity provides one-off and recurrent grants in the range of £160 to £480 each term. The Foundation supports, for example, those attending school, apprenticeships, traineeships, internships, access/foundation courses, further education college, university.

Grants may be awarded to support:

In determining any award the trustees have regard to the promotion of education in accordance with the principles of the Church of England, but this should not deter applicants of other Christian denominations, other faiths, or none
