Steven Gerrard Foundation grants to support disadvantaged children and young people

The Steven Gerrard Foundation was set up last year by Steven Gerrard with the Consortium for Street Children to award grants to charitable organisations throughout the UK that work with disadvantaged children and young people. Although the foundation operates in the UK, the foundation focuses on Liverpool, the home town of Steven Gerrard.

The grants programme is intended to provide relief to children and young people in need, whether through illness, family breakdown, disability, involvement in the streets, financial or educational disadvantage. The maximum value of a grant is £30,000.

Projects funded can be new or existing and focus on one of the following themes:

• Children with disabilities
• Children and health.
• Children and family breakdown.
• Street children.
• Children and education.

The Foundation welcomes a wide range of projects and an example they give that might be funded is “a mentoring project for children affected by family breakdown to support them in making key life choices”.Find out more about the eligibility criteria and application procedure on the Steven Gerrard Foundation website.

Application deadline: 9 March 2012
