Barbara Ward Children's Foundation

The aim of the Foundation is to help small, non-religious charities to serve severely disadvantaged children anywhere in the world. In recent years, the Foundation has provided grants to organisations working on youth projects in the following categories:

• Education.
• Health and wellbeing.
• Holidays.
• Sport, play and leisure.
• Support, care and respite.

Registered charities working to improve the lives of children and young people living in the UK and throughout the world may apply. To be eligible, charities should be financially sound and should not be receiving funding from statutory bodies.

The funding is for the benefit of children who are seriously or terminally ill, disadvantaged, underprivileged or have special needs. The application process is ongoing and interested applicants may apply at any time.
