7 Stars Foundation

The 7stars foundation was established by the 7stars to support challenged and vulnerable young people in the United Kingdom.

Project grants of up to £2,500 are available.

Shine Bright grants of up to £1,500 are available.

Applications will be considered from organisations who require funding in the areas of:
Abuse
Addiction
Child carers
Homelessness
Organisations must have a turnover of under £1.5 million and be supporting young people aged 16 years and under.

The grant funding is intended to support young people (aged 16 and under) challenged by abuse and addiction, those who are young carers, and those who are homeless or without a safe space to call home. Funding is offered across the following streams:
