Full details from Community Foundation for Surrey

The Surrey Young People's Fund helps disadvantaged young people aged 16 to 25 living in Surrey move towards a goal in education, training, an apprenticeship or work. Grants are typically £50 to £350, and up to £750 in exceptional cases, for things that directly improve employability, such as qualifications, certificates and licences, vocational or technical skills, and self-development that builds confidence. It is a funder of last resort and cannot pay for anything already started. Grants are decided by a panel of volunteers, and you can apply at any time.

How to apply
