The Dulverton Trust

Youth Opportunities. Our largest category, supporting work with young people aged up to 25, that:

• Engages participants primarily based on low income
• Helps participants to develop the life skills (e.g., employability skills, academic skills, or social-emotional skills) to thrive and progress into further opportunities, particularly education, employment or training
• Takes a strengths-based approach. There is strong evidence that growing up in poverty can negatively impact a young person’s life chances. However, we want to fund charities which recognise the skills and capacity that young people already possess, and do not view the young person as something to be ‘fixed’.

General Welfare. We support work in communities with high levels of poverty, focusing on:

• strengthening and supporting family relationships
• work with offenders, especially young offenders, with a focus on desistance
• helping young homeless people to move forward
• maintaining active living and independence for older people
• the welfare of those who care for others
• the promotion of social cohesion
