Applications for the next round of Pitstone Step Up Grants need to be received by the end of November

Set Up Grant Logo

Pitstone Step-Up Grants have so far helped two young people with their university accommodation fees, one person to continue their skills education by providing help with their bus fare, and another person realise an opportunity to visit Kenya and build a playground for a disadvantaged community.   It has been a privilege to work with these individuals and see not just the impact that the grant can have on them, but also the impact the activity has on others that benefit from the actions they are undertaking.


Applications for the next round need to be submitted by the end of November 2024.  You will need to attend an interview in support of your application on the evening of Thursday 19 December.  You will receive notification of any grant offered by early January.   As applications are only considered quarterly, we encourage you to think ahead and apply early !

Pitstone Step–Up Grants are new grants available to Pitstone residents, funded from income from a local charity (Pitstone Parish Charity).  They are designed to relieve hardship, need or distress by enabling the long-term transformation of the recipient’s quality of life in some way.  This could be through removing barriers to enable an individual to pursue a life-improving opportunity that would otherwise have been unaffordable, or to complete some form of training or upskilling that will demonstrably improve their professional or earning
potential, where funding is not available from another source.
