Supporting vulnerable children and adults
Supporting vulnerable children and adults
The Spire Foundation helps remove practical barriers to education, training and opportunity for children, young people and adults with care experience, disabilities or additional needs across the North of England.
Through grants and tailored support, we fund course-related costs, travel, tuition, specialist equipment, assistive technology and other practical help that enables people to develop skills, access opportunities and fulfil their potential.

The right support at the right time can change the direction of a life. Every grant we make is intended to increase independence, improve life chances and create a brighter future.
In short
We turn charitable giving into practical opportunities for people who may otherwise be held back by cost, circumstance or lack of support.

· Education and course-related costs
· Training and work placements
· Private tuition and targeted learning support
· Travel and accommodation linked to education, training or interviews
· Laptops, specialist equipment and assistive technology
· Books, suitable clothing and other practical items that open access to opportunity

We welcome grant applications through recognised third-party organisations, including local authorities, schools, charities and other agencies. If you support someone who may benefit, please tell them about the Foundation and consider making a referral.
