You can find out more about us, and what we do at
We are aware that local schools are the heart of many of our communities, and that our young people represent a large number of our local residents. We think it is important to invest in their future.
Our Young Learners Enrichment Fund is a small grant scheme, and is open to applications from Schools within the area of benefit of Fullabrook CIC. It is a Pilot Scheme only for 2017, in response to the challenges currently faced by our local schools. We are very aware of the and know how much difference a little extra can make to a lot of children, such as the cost of transport to a sporting event or an educational trip, additional learning resources over and above the statutory requirement, additional sports or music equipment. Unlike our other funds, match funding is not essential, though we are happy to be part of a larger funding package.
As this is a pilot scheme, we are happy to answer questions, please email for advice and support.
