In 2017 the Francis C Scott Charitable Trust awarded us a grant to run a 2 night, 3 day residential at Ormside Mill for young men aged between 15-23 years old.

The Francis C Scott Charitable Trust awards over £1 million in grants every year to charitable organisations operating in Cumbria and the very north of Lancashire.

Their core purpose is to support charitable organisations who enable young people up to the age of 24 in Cumbria & North Lancashire experiencing challenging circumstances to thrive.

They are particularly interested in effective approaches to addressing the needs of children, young people and young adults by:

  • raising aspirations and supporting personal development
  • inclusive practice
  • improving wellbeing and mental health
  • improving sector effectiveness
