The Kerrison Trust

The Kerrison Trust Grants for Individuals

Grants from a Norfolk and Suffolk youth charity founded in 1856 for young people aged 11 to 20 facing obstacles to achieving their best, such as learning or social difficulties, bereavement, family breakdown, or a lack of money for the equipment they need to succeed. The Trust says its grants can cover things like scholarships, access to training programmes, equipment and workshops. Applications are reviewed at quarterly trustee meetings; teachers and parents or guardians can also get in touch on a young person's behalf.
