Offers one-off grants to those over the age of 18, living in the UK or Wales, who are either at the beginning of, or are contemplating, a new career focused on helping others in need. These grants enable beneficiaries to take the next step in fulfilling their life’s purpose, the applicants having to demonstrate commitment to their purpose, and that they need financial support to make it feasible.

Trustees will consider funding specific living costs, such as food and rent, and other costs relating to training programmes, voluntary work or an internship and academic course costs specific to the intended work. 

The charity does not fund breaks from work or pledge towards the repayment of loans or other debts.

Awards up to three one-off grants per year, with the maximum awarded to any case capped at £2,000.
