Northumberland Children's Trust

The Northumberland Children's Trust was established after the sale of the Longhirst Hall School, where the funds from the sale were transferred into a charitable trust.

The purpose of the Northumberland Children's Trust is to further the advancement of education and training in children and young people and providing support to youth organisations who support children and young people in their local communities. This is achieved through the consideration of grant applications. We have supported youth projects, uniformed youth groups, sports and musical clubs, and organisations, such as museums and charities, which provide special activities for children and young people.

We do not support individual requests for financial support.

Trustees:
