Application deadline: Tuesday, 18 November 2025
Projects should meet the following priorities:
o Be for children and young people under the age of 25 who are disadvantaged.
o Be within the UK.
o Consist of educational activities that develop learning, motivation and skills, and
o Have clear aims and objectives to be met within a planned timescale.
The Ironmongers’ Company is particularly interested in supporting projects that deliver clearly defined educational benefits and develop motivation, learning and skills development to a specific group of children or young people aged 25 and under.
Grants of up to £10,000 are available for projects that can demonstrate that they can have a significant impact on the lives of young people. Projects that pilot new approaches where the learning outcomes will be shared with a wider audience are particularly welcomed.
The majority of awards are for under £5,000. Equipment can be funded where this relates to specific project activities (applicants will be required to justify spending on items of equipment). Grants should be spent within a year of confirmation of the award.
Applications must be made by post as emailed applications are not accepted by the Company.
