Grants

Family Action has been making grants to families and individuals in need since its foundation in 1869. We make both welfare grants, meeting a range of essential needs and educational grants, for the additional costs associated with education such as travel, books and equipment.

In partnership with Barclaycard, we have produced a Grants Guide; this simple guide is to help you identify and apply for grants from charitable trusts for education and training needs.

As well as the guide, you can use our Educational Grants Search, sponsored by Barclaycard, to search for educational funders.
