Annually we support around 200 individuals who live in Letchworth; this is mostly young adults and around 20 Letchworth community groups or organisations. These include;
- Students who live in Letchworth (for at least two years) who have gained a university place usually receive a grant of £750 towards the cost of books and learning materials. School Leavers continuing with further education (e.g. diploma, HND, Apprenticeship) are also eligible for this grant
- School pupils in a family who find it difficult to financially support a school activity (such as a a residential field visit or camp). Where the school believes the activity would benefit the child, we offer a grant of up to £70 towards the costs
- Community groups needing help to improve their premises or to support an event

We also consider bursaries for exceptionally talented musicians, athletes, swimmers, etc..
