Francis Scott Trust
Every child and young person deserves the chance to thrive but not all have equal access to the support and resources they need to do so. That's why we work tirelessly with, and through, others to ensure young people in Cumbria and the District of Lancaster can fulfil their potential. We’re one of the largest independent grant funders in the area that's solely focused on children and young people (up to the age of 24).

Tell us one thing that this funder does really well
Takes the time to build relationships with those they are funding and to understand what the funding is for.
If you had one piece of advice to give to this funder (about grantmaking or anything else), what would it be?
Keep doing what your doing.
