CHARITY EDUCATION GRANTS FOR CHILDREN AND YOUNG PEOPLE OF FINSBURY, SOUTH ISLINGTON
The Worrall and Fuller charity began in 1689 and supports the education and training of children and young people in need who live in, or have parents working in, the southern part of Islington, London. This area was formerly called Finsbury. We are a very small charity which gives small grants from about £250 to £500 each, to around 25 to 30 children and young people each year. Our small income comes from our historic invested endowment, a small agricultural rental, and donations from generous businesses and individuals.
1. We support children and young people by providing small, individual grants.
All grant applications should be educationally related.
Grants are generally between £250 and £500.
Applicants can only make one application per year.
Applicants should give as much information as possible in their applications.
Examples of grants given by the Charity include:
Extra school tuition
Musical tuition
Educational materials
Membership of clubs (music, sports, etc)
Swimming lessons
School uniforms (Please check with your child’s school before applying, as some already provide grants for school uniforms)
School journeys – e.g. to museums
Applications for the following will not be considered by the charity:
Laptops, Tablets, Mobile Phones and computer peripherals
Furniture of any kind
Leisure trips
Funding to help pay the debt of a family
2. We invite local institutions whose work/ministry is in line with our charitable purposes to make expressions of interest to Worrall & Fuller by email (see below).
The beneficiaries of grants must be a child or children aged 5 to 21 years of age.
The applicant must live or study (or whose parents work) in the area of benefit.
You can see whether your address falls into our area of benefit by checking it against our map, here.
The charity is led by a small group pf charity trustees called Governors. They are people who have a strong local connection to the area, either by residence, business, or working and volunteering with local schools.
