The BIBAs Foundation Grants for Young People (Lancashire)

Grants of up to £2,000 from The BIBAs Foundation, managed by the Community Foundation for Lancashire, for young people aged 16 to 24 permanently based in Lancashire who want to learn, build skills, gain work experience or start an enterprise. The fund comes from the Be Inspired Business Awards run by the North and Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce. Qualifications, educational visits, business start-up costs, mentoring and structured training such as courses and workshops can be funded. Vehicles, debts and retrospective costs cannot. The total budget is about £22,000 and decisions come in late January 2027. Groups supporting young people can apply separately for up to £5,000. Applications close on 2 November 2026.
