Applications are now open for the Inspiration Grants that support young people to pursue their talent and reach their potential.

What does the Inspiration Grant fund?
- The Inspiration Grant will be awarded to inspirational young people aged 24 or under. These young people should demonstrate real potential, with a talent for anything from sporting skills, academia, performing arts to creative flair. Applicants must normally reside in Bernicia’s operating area.
