The Alec Dickson Trust supports young people in the UK who want to use volunteering or community service to do brilliant things in their communities. Grants of up to £500 are available to individuals or groups of young people aged 30 or under, to help them put their ideas into action and run projects that benefit the lives of others – particularly the most marginalised and disadvantaged. When assessing applications, the Trust are looking for: volunteering, need and innovation.

Please note: it is highly unlikely that applications from young people embarking on organised ‘gap year’ projects overseas (with organisations like Project Trust, Raleigh International, or Health Projects Abroad) or requesting a grant for college/university course fees will match with the Trust’s funding criteria.

Deadline: Ongoing
