The Chobham Bly Lawson Youth Fund
Inspiring young people through positive experiences.
The mission of the Chobham Bly Lawson Youth Fund is to provide young people in the area of Chobham and its surrounds with funding to experience new activities and opportunities to grow. Bly Lawson wanted to give young people aged 11 to 25 the chance to develop new skills and build confidence as a result.
Our vision is to maximise the potential of young people and enable them to develop these skills and learn from their experiences to help them in later life. We want to be inclusive and support families, individuals, clubs and societies that might not be able to afford these types of activities
We want to help young people develop their confidence and mature into valuable members of the community. Bly loved supporting youth activities in Chobham and it was her wish that her legacy could bring positive benefits not only to young people but their parents too. This is a unique opportunity to see her wish fulfilled.
Empowering our future generations.
You might need funding to record a new music track, for cookery classes, paying for football kit for your team, a fine art course or want to learn to code. We are here to make that a reality. For applications under £2500 we’ve made the process super easy to get you up and running. Every application will be reviewed on its own merit, eligibility and due diligence criteria.
