The Two Ridings Community Foundation is accepting submissions for the Bettys and Taylors Family Fund Programme.
They aim to support groups and organisations working to inspire, support and enable vulnerable young people (up to age 25) who face challenging circumstances, through gaining relevant skills and experience to prepare for entry into the food, catering and hospitality sector.
Funding Information
- Grants are available of up £30,000. You can use the grant for a project of up to three years, and the maximum you can apply for is £30,000. So, you might apply for £15,000 for a twelve-month project. Or apply for £10,000 per year, for three years, where the total is £30,000.
What funding will cover?
- Project costs to support and enable vulnerable young people facing challenging circumstances through food, catering, and hospitality skills and experiences,

- Projects operating within twenty miles of a Bettys Tea Room or the Bettys & Taylors head office,
- Full cost recovery,
- Small capital purchases towards the project.
