PenCarrie Foundation

The PenCarrie Foundation supports charities and community organisations working with children and young people aged 0-21 years and their families in Devon.

The foundation is particularly interested in work that helps children and young people facing challenges to overcome barriers, build confidence, access opportunities and feel supported in their communities. The funding can therefore be used to fund a range of activities, such as:

  • parenting programmes and family support services
  • practical support e.g.. access to essentials such as food, clothing, baby supplies
  • health and wellbeing support e.g.. counselling, opportunities for physical activity
  • academic support
  • skills and employment initiatives
  • youth clubs
  • services for vulnerable groups e.g.. homeless, young carers

You can apply for project grants, core or unrestricted grants and capital grants. You can currently apply for single-payment grants, and grants are typically between £2,000 and £25,000.

Applications are considered in January, April, July and October: PenCarrie Foundation | Funding Organisations Supporting Children & Young People in Devon
