Enrichment Programme
Who can apply: Supports schools and partners working to improve enrichment quality and participation, especially for young people who may otherwise miss out.
The Ormiston Trust focuses on helping young people and families in England, especially those facing adversity, by funding projects that build personal growth, stronger relationships, and active participation in school and community life. Its giving is closely tied to youth social action, student voice, wellbeing, and practical skills that help young people thrive, with many grants supporting Ormiston-linked schools and community partners. The Trust appears to favor hands-on, locally delivered projects that give students real opportunities to lead, connect, and contribute to others.
Primarily open programmatic grants to schools, academies, and community organizations in England, with awards commonly around £17,000 and some smaller project grants in the £4,250-£6,700 range. Funding supports multi-school or site-based youth projects, often through the WeWill/#WeWill programme or general grants, and is likely application-based rather than invitation-only for eligible organizations.

Target proposals to one of the Trust’s stated priorities—youth social action, student voice, wellbeing, or skills development—and show clear outcomes for young people in England, especially those facing disadvantage. Schools, academies, and community groups should emphasize practical delivery, youth participation, and measurable impact; check the Trust website for current programme windows and whether the opportunity is through WeWill/#WeWill or general grants.
