England

Charities and other not-for-profit making organisations can apply as long as they are wholly based and working in the South West of England, particularly Devon and Cornwall. There is a preference for Exeter and/or East Devon. Applications from North Somerset, Bristol and Avon are very unlikely to be successful.

Preference is given to smaller local charities without national appeal and who have limited resources for fundraising.

The majority of grants awarded by the Trust are between £500 and £1,000, athough grants of up to £5,000 will be considered.

The Ian Askew Charitable Trust offers grants to charitable organisations, particularly those working in Sussex.

The Trust considers applications from a wide range of organisations, including those active in the following areas:

• Children and young people.
• Older people.
• Disability and health care.
• Welfare.

The majority of grants are for £500 or less, however, larger grants (up to £3,000) can also be awarded.

Grants are available for schools, community groups, clubs, societies or other organisations in England to improve the education and development of children and young people through educational, cultural, sporting, and other activities.

The BlueSpark Foundation is a registered charity whose objective is to fund or part fund projects which aim to improve the education and development of children and young people by means of educational, cultural, sporting or other activities.
