PERKINS EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION AWARDS TO SCHOOLS AND OTHER BODIES TO ASSIST YOUNG PEOPLE UNDER THE AGE OF 25

In furtherance of its charitable remit, the Perkins Educational Foundation invites applications from schools and other bodies working with young people under the age of 25 living in Salford Priors, Bidford-on-Avon and Broom, Harvington and Cleeve Prior. Applications by organisations for financial assistance from the Foundation should be made by 31 March each year.
