The Ironmongers' Company - Grants
The Ironmongers’ Company wishes to support projects seeking up to £10k that provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people to fulfil their potential.

For children and young people under the age of 25 who are disadvantaged
Consist of educational activities that develop learning, motivation and skills
Have clear aims and objectives to be met within a planned timescale

The Company is looking for projects that deliver clearly defined educational benefits to a specific group of children or young people. Items of equipment will be considered only where a full explanation is given of how they will support this activity.
The Company is particularly interested in enabling primary age children to develop a strong foundation for the future.
