• Financial assistance for clothing, tools, instruments or books to assist people to pursue their education.
• Help with travel costs for educational purposes.
• Contributions towards the costs involved with preparing for – or entering – a profession, trade or occupation on leaving school or further education.
• Grants for the two local schools for any projects they may be undertaking.
