Community groups as well as schools and colleges can apply for grants to support the education and development of children and young people through educational, cultural, sporting and other projects.

Of particular interests are projects which will help enhance the self-confidence, team working skills and future employability of children and young people. Many grants will be under £2,000, most will be under £5,000 and only in a few cases will grants exceed £10,000.

The funding provided by the BlueSpark Foundation and can be for physical assets (such as iPads, sports equipment, or lighting for stage productions) or for services or facilities (such as sports coaching or music or drama tuition) or simply for the provision of experiences (such as theatre visits).

These examples are intended to be illustrative and not restrictive as to the funding which BlueSpark may provide to support projects.

Applications can be submitted at any time here.
