✕Cannot pay for a workshop
Open all yearOpen all year, no fixed deadline
Feeding Brighter Futures funds food, clothing, breakfast/after-school/holiday clubs and wider-learning activities delivered by the school itself, not fees for an external STEM workshop provider, and the funder says its waiting list is temporarily closed to new schools. The Community Action Fund is core funding for not-for-profit community organisations working in deprived areas, not a school grant.
