Overseas Development
Around a quarter of grants go towards overseas development each year and, since 2012 the average grant in this category has been around £1,900.
We are particularly interested in projects which improve the life chances for the next generation of children born into war-torn nations and/or those in the Global South, as well as those born into nations with poor access to education. Please note that, in this category, we only support charities that are registered with the Charity Commission of England and Wales.
