The Farringdon House School Charitable Trust

The Farringdon House School Charitable Trust grants

These are mainly grants for individuals: young people under 21 living in Devon, or who have been in the care of Devon County Council, applied for by a parent, guardian or social worker. They cover education and training, including help for disabled children and those with special educational needs. Charitable or voluntary organisations whose aims include educating and training young people can also apply. Awards are usually one-off, and applicants must first show that DWP or other public funding is not available.
