Grants to Support Young Adults with Learning Difficulties After They Leave School (UK)

Grants of up to £5,000 are available to charities that support young adults with learning difficulties after they leave school.

The Margaret Dobson Further Education Trust will provide funding to charities that promote education, learning, training, recreation and rehabilitation for young adults aged 18 to 25 across the UK, providing practical skills to support them to lead independent lives. Those aged 16+ who are not in formal education, training or work will also be considered.

Priority will be given to applications from projects which provide support for those adversely affected by the Covid-19 pandemic; offer life skills and employment experience, build accredited training; and encourage social interaction and confidence building.

The deadline for applications is the 31st March 2021.
