There are 47 accredited community foundations in the UK, independently committed to the places they serve. Each one has a deep understanding of their local communities and a commitment to improving places for everyone to live, work and thrive in.
What is the fund?
The Care Leavers Programme – which organisers say is the first scheme of its kind for care leavers – aims to empower 18- to 25-year-olds to leave care and enter adulthood independently.
The programme aims to give more and better life chances to a broad pool of young people leaving care who need extra support at the transition into independence.
