Grant Application Form – The Sedbury Trust

Our individual grants are to support children in Gloucestershire who need extra support to learn and thrive.

We support children who are, or have ever been, in care; children with disabilities and special educational needs; and children who need extra support, such as young carers, refugee and asylum seekers and those on a Child in Need or Child Protection Plan.

Most of our individual grants are for between £100 and £1000. The maximum amount you can apply for is £3000.

All of our grants are to support children’s education in the broadest sense. Examples of previous grants include:

Laptops to allow children to learn remotely
Sensory equipment to help children regulate and be ready to learn
Animal therapy to improve wellbeing to allow a child to return to school
Sports equipment or music lessons

We aim to respond to all individual grants applications within two months.
