BlueSpark Foundation

BlueSpark Foundation supports the education and development of children and young people by providing grants for educational, cultural, sporting and other projects.

The foundation aims to help children and young people reach their full potential by supporting projects which have the following objectives:

  • encouraging independence
  • developing team working skills
  • developing self confidence
  • promoting creativity and individuality
  • encouraging aspiration
  • enhancing educational achievement
  • widening educational horizons
  • Projects can include a range of activities such as academic education, drama, sport, enterprise, debating, art and design, music, community activities and educational excursions.

Grants are available for specific projects only and cannot be used towards running costs or general activities. Many of the grants provided are for less than £2,000 and the maximum is £5,000. The funding is for projects which might not happen at all or would only happen on a lesser scale without the support of the foundation.

Most projects which BlueSpark supports are likely to be initiated or undertaken by schools, colleges or community groups.

Small grants for projects which aim to improve the education and development of children and young people by means of educational, cultural, sporting or other activities.
