The Care Leavers' Foundation Trust Fund - small grants scheme for care leavers aged up to 29
Can you remember how many times your adult children came back home in their twenties, or got help and support from you through a tough time? Somewhere to crash when a relationship has broken up. Money to help with the first car. A shoulder to cry on when things just seem too much. There are so many things we take for granted from our families, which are a natural part of nurturing our offspring and helping them to get the best start in life.
Many care leavers begin their adult lives with no family support at all, and no-one to rely on.
Through our grants scheme, we aim to help care leavers get a better start in life. We can't be a 'forever parent ' to everyone who leaves care, but we can help financially, and perhaps prevent a setback turning into a major crisis, or assist someone to take advantage of an opportunity. For more details of who is eligible, download a copy of our framework document
Grant applications are welcomed from all care leavers up to the age of 26 to help with personal development needs, crisis payments, education, training or employment needs. Applications connected with training and enterprise are open to care leavers up to the age of 29.

We are currently making a small number of modest grants on a regular basis. If you would like to help support our work, enabling us to reach more care leavers, please visit our support page and find out how you can help, or click here to donate on-line.
