Grants for schools
Walton Charity awards grants and funding to local schools to support disadvantaged pupils with learning and other enrichment activities.
Community grants
Our Community Grants can be used to fund:
IT hardware for disadvantaged students.
catch-up and early years interventions in local nurseries and schools with high numbers of disadvantaged children.
mental health support for children and young people.
Find out more about our Community Grants programme or download our Funding Guidelines.
Opportunities Funds
We also provide Opportunities Funds to local schools to support students from low income families, including those eligible for Pupil Premium support.
These funds can be used for:
School uniforms, school shoes, low-cost equipment or one-off travel expenses.
Contributions towards school trips and activities which pupils would not otherwise experience.
Extra-curricular activities based at the school.
Breakfast or after-school clubs for a limited time (for families in urgent need of support).
Counselling or therapy sessions within the school.

“The NELI programme will significantly accelerate the development of vocabulary, narrative skills, active listening and phonological awareness in some of our most vulnerable pupils and help them to feel successful in school. We are so grateful for the Walton Charity grant to support this programme.”
