Alec Dickson Trust

The Alec Dickson Trust supports young people who, through volunteering or community service, aim to enhance the lives of others, particularly those most marginalised by society. Grants are available for up to £500.

We support projects that support and encourage youth volunteering. We particularly like to fund projects that involve lots of volunteers, and/or encourage these young people to stay engaged as volunteers in the long term.

Who can apply

The Alec Dickson Trust supports volunteering or community service projects in the UK only that are organised and run by people under 30 years old.

Restrictions

Please note we do not fund overseas trips or gap year projects. We don’t normally fund uniforms, equipment or training for personal benefit (e.g. university course fees, training fees, laptop for an individual) or direct expenditure for a fundraising event (such as venue hire).
