Four Acre Trust supports charities (registered in Great Britain and Northern Ireland) working in the following areas:
Mentoring schemes – Mentoring schemes for young people aiming to achieve a significant change in lifestyle and aspirations. Youth work in local communities – Core costs of local youth organisations using volunteers to deliver programmes for young people aimed at improving their future prospects. Breaks and holidays for young people – They support charities providing opportunities for young people and their families to experience challenging activities on a holiday or short break. They expect beneficiaries or their families to contribute to the cost. School holiday activity schemes – They will part fund so long as beneficiaries make a contribution to the cost. Adventure and other training centres – They support charities booking places at adventure training centres. They do not directly fund centres or bursary schemes.
Grants can be for core costs or specific purposes, but applications must clearly show what the need is and how it is to be met. Grants range from £3,000 to £75,000. They like to repeat fund. Trustees meet in February, April, June, August, October and December. Applications are usually processed within three months.
