Eligibility: Inspiration Grant

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.

Note: this grant is only awarded to individuals, organisations should apply for an Inclusion Grant 

The Bernicia Foundation can award grants of up to £1,000 per person. It is unlikely individual awards would exceed this amount, although we may give consideration to exceptional circumstances.

This Grant is available to young people aged 24 and under and who are based in Bernicia’s operating area.

We are actively interested in applications from Bernicia tenants and those living in areas where Bernicia has a significant local presence (see our operating area).
