Funding

Grants are available for small local grassroots organisations in England to provide emergency relief in their communities during the Covid-19 crisis and also recover from the impact that the crisis has had on their services.

Grants are available for schools, community groups, clubs, societies or other organisations in England to improve the education and development of children and young people through educational, cultural, sporting and other activities.

John Lyon’s Charity gives grants to benefit children and young people up to the age of 25 who live in nine boroughs in North and West London: Barnet, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Hammersmith & Fulham, Harrow, Kensington & Chelsea and the Cities of London and Westminster.

The Charity operates six Grant Funds. The most popular is the Main Grants Fund, and the majority of grants are awarded under this Fund.

The Small Grant Fund can be used as a useful introduction to the Charity and often grants awarded under this Fund can lead into larger grants under the Main Grants Fund.

Both the Schools in Partnership Fund and School Explorer Fund are open to state schools in the Charity’s Beneficial Area and the Bursary Fund supports young people to attend The John Lyon School, Harrow School and selected girls’ schools in the Charity’s Beneficial Area.

The Charity’s mission is to promote the life-chances of children and young people through education. Grants are awarded to registered charities, state schools and organisations with automatic charitable status.

The Foundation supports UK registered charities working within the UK in the areas of Welfare, Youth, Community, Arts, Faith, Environment, Education, Health and Museums & Heritage.

The Golsoncott Foundation, established as a Charitable Trust in July 1998 from the estate of the artist and sculptor Rachel Reckitt (1908-1995) is an arts-funding trust whose declared object is to promote, maintain, improve and advance the education of the public in the arts generally and in particular the fine arts and music.

The Westway Trust recognise there are occasions when it is expedient for them to consider making grants to individuals and organisations on a discretionary basis for a purpose that falls outside the eligibility criteria for the Community Grants Programme, the Festivals & Events Fund, or other established grants programmes.
