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 for the FIRST year of studies only. 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
