Westham House Fund

Westham House Fund Grants

Grants to organisations providing non-vocational educational opportunities, or educational activities which enhance wellbeing, for adults (aged 16+) principally in Warwickshire. Activities must be undertaken "purely for pleasure or general self-improvement, or to support your wellbeing" — not job training, employability or accredited qualifications. Grants are rarely over £4,000 and match funding is favoured. A separate Young Person's Fellowship (usually up to £500) supports individuals aged 16-25.
