The Somerset Community Foundation has announced South West Youth Training and Employment Support Grants Program.
Funding Information
- They have up to £10,000 to give out this year. This money comes from a private donor who is working with Somerset Community Foundation and is also involved in the awards process.
- If you meet all the criteria, then you can ask them for up to £500.
