The Trustees wish to consider:

• Projects of individual initiative by young people where self-help on its own has proved insufficient
• Organisations administering projects whose aim is to develop individual initiative by young people
• Applications for educational assistance to enable applicants to work in community projects specialising in the social education of young people
• Grants towards finite projects or individuals administering them

The Trustees will not make grants towards the underwriting of ongoing salaries, fees or schemes, nor will they make grants from which an ongoing commitment might be inferred.

Grants will only be made to registered charities or to individuals whose grants must be administered by a registered charity.

The Trustees are unlikely to make grants in respect of formal education, except for courses leading to a qualification in Youth and Community Work.

The Trustees will not consider grants in retrospect.

The Trustees may wish to visit or interview applicants before reaching a decision and/or call for a report either during or at the completion of a project for which a grant has been made.
