If you want to do an general education or training grant search,
click here anduse the search engine that this link sends you to
EGAS (Educational GrantsAdvisory Service) at the Family Welfare
Association below. This link will take youto the EGAS main page at
the FWA's website.
Additionally, there is the UnLtd Millennium Award that was set
up by the LotteryMillennium Commission, where they give out several

Trust Funds for individuals in need
Please be aware that below the 1st dozen or so entries below,
these charity detailshave not been checked in 2 - 3 years, so may
have changed address, or their
application criteria, or may have been subsumed into another
charity, or closeddown entirely.
Bankruptcy Fee charities - click this link for charities that
specifically assist with Bankruptcy orDebt Relief Order (DRO)
fees.
The application forms for these trust funds, usually need to be
supported by a letter from, oradministered by, an objective third
party "responsible person" such as a teacher, social
worker,probation officer, hostel or prison staff member, worker for
a registered charity, Citizens AdviceBureau adviser, etc., i.e.
someone whose judgment and word they can trust, as they are often
the targetof the unscrupulous who only want to rip them off for as
much as they can get.
To ensure that you have the best chance of getting a grant,
there are 2 examples (good and bad) offilled-in Anglian Water
Assistance Fund (AWAF) application forms on the downloads page,
whichyou can get to by pressing the Downloads above.
I would advise you to download and study these first, before you
attempt to fill-in anyapplications, as these are from the
administrator of the AWTF itself !!
When you fill-in application forms for ANY Trust Fund, the rules
are pretty much the same for formfilling and what to attach to your
application. You generally need an up-to-date full bank
statementwhich shows what welfare benefits you are receiving and
what you have in savings (generally -nothing in savings). If you
are working, then you'll need to send copies of your last months
pay-slips toshow how much you are earning. Additionally, they
usually want you to attach 3 quotes for each itemyou want i.e. if
you want a fridge, cooker, and washing machine, then go to your
local stores (Comet,Dixons, Argos, whoever) and get the prices for
a model that suits your situation, but don't go forexpensive
models, as you'll just get no grant at all. The main pages on the
AWTF are 8 + 9 and theIncome / Expenditure (I/E). You can attach a
copy of the financial statement that you can downloadfrom the
Downloads mentioned above (filled-in of course).
Some will only accept an application from one of these third
parties, and won't send the grant to youdirectly, but will send it
to the "responsible person" to administer on your behalf.
Applications for suchgrants must generally be made by someone who
knows the applicant in a professional capacity such asa social
worker, health visitor or by a voluntary agency such as Citizens
Advice or similar.

grants of up to 5,000 per person (or a goup of you) to fund a
project that willassist your community and from which you will
learn something. It is athttp://www.unltd.org.uk - take a look at
the Level 1 awards and do a search in theDirectory page to see what
type of projects have been funded, and see if therewas a project on
a subject that interests you that was funded. YOU DO NOTNEED TO BE
A REGISTERED CHARITY TO GET FUNDING FROM THISORGANISATION.
Essentially, all you need to do is make a list of all the
hardware, software,services, etc that you will need to run your own
project, and put the costs next toeach item. Then write a proposal
(a single sheet of A4 will suffice) outlining whatgroup of people
you want to help, what type of help you want to give them (i.e.
Iwant to help local teenages who are at risk of being drawn into
crime and/or drugs by gettingthem into producing music / art /
whatever which will direct their creative talents
therebyfacilitating a constructive and creative use of their spare
time which could otherwise beturned to crime and/or the use of
drugs to escape the local druggery).This website wasfunded by a
similar trust fund.

grants are all aboutand tips on how to build a proposal to apply

Grant size is in the region of 500 on average, but depending on
the circumstances, can bea lot more, (i.e. several K).These are one
of the very best trusts to get funds from, mainly (but not only)
for anyeducation or training needed, as they administer a lot of
(40 or so) small trust funds fromwhich they draw small sums to make
up what you need.

lives around, like getting a flat after being homeless or
breaking an addiction, few have theresources to buy a bed, a cooker
or some clothes. The Vicar's Relief Fund helps to meet needslike
these by making small grants. The Fund helps those in the greatest
of need, regardless ofwho they are, where they live in the UK,
their origins, legal status or belief. The VRF makes grants to
'those who are in need or suffering hardship'. Hardship for one
personor family may not be the same for another, so they attempt to
be flexible in their approach.Although it is impossible to define a
'typical' grant, their aim is to help provide the recipientwith
ordinary necessities many people take for granted. They respond to
requests for itemssuch as beds and bedding, clothing, domestic
appliances, furniture, equipment for babiesand toddlers, and
arrears on rent, council tax or utility bills. The grants they are
able to make are not for luxuries, nor are they meant to simply
makepeople's lives easier (though that happens as a result). Grants
are relatively small (on averageabout 150). Just as important as
providing help is how quickly help can be given. Theyrecognise that
people in need are in need now : 7 out of 10 grants are sent within
3 days ofreceiving the request. VRF make grants to more than half
of the requests received that meettheir criteria.
They don't usually make grants to individuals applying on their
own behalf. As a small charitywith limited resources, they rely on
professionals like the ones listed below to assess theirclient's
needs and, where appropriate, make an application on behalf of
their client.

refuges, SureStarts and family centreskey workers in rehabilitation
centresCAB advisorsprobation officersCPNs, health visitors and
other health professionalsclergy, prison and hospital chaplainsand
staff in other voluntary organisations and caring agencies.
They don't normally make more than one grant per person or
family in any twelve-monthperiod. Although the VRF is a small
charity, it has a national reach, so they don't want toconcentrate
limited resources in one area of the country or a single
organisation. Please do notsend in more than one request at a time:
it is best to make an application to the VRF when thereis a
pressing need rather than for routine applications. VRF is very
heavily over-subscribed. Individuals cannot apply on their
ownbehalf, or request application forms for their support workers
or advisors to fillout for them. ONLY CASEWORKERS FROM AN
ORGANISATION APPLYING ONYOUR BEHALF CAN APPLY FOR APPLICATION FORM
AND APPLY ON YOURBEHALF (such as a CAB or other advice organisation
