David Lewis Grants for Young People

David Lewis Association
Grants for Young People in Liverpool

The David Lewis Association has a small amount of funding available to help disadvantaged, individual young people aged 14 - 25 in Liverpool to have a life changing experience.

Grants from £500 to £5,000 (perhaps more in exceptional circumstances) are available for disadvantaged young people, nominated by a local voluntary or community group (VCO), who must

·       Show exceptional potential or be embarking on a personal challenge
·       Live in Liverpool
·       Demonstrate the need for financial assistance

Grants may also be given to help with medical bills or adaptations where

·       The treatment undertaken will enable the young person to take a more active role in the life of the
        community or enable them to take up a personal challenge

·       The adaptation will enable the young person to fulfil their potential

How to apply

The David Lewis Association is looking for nominations from local voluntary and community sector groups, youth organisations etc. The initial nomination form is available from the LCVS Grants Team who can be contacted on 236 7728, via email - grants@lcvs.org.uk or via the LCVS web site -  www.lcvs.org.uk/home.php?/site/Grants_&_Funding/Grants_Team
