About us
The Salford Foundation Trust supports children and young people by providing opportunities to fulfil their potential and achieve change in their lives.
It provides financial assistance to those who wish to experience or enhance personal and learning development opportunities that may otherwise be restricted by their financial means.
The Salford Foundation Trust will consider requests to fund opportunities that will enable a young person to learn and/or develop new skills or take part in a character building experience or activity.
Examples of this “opportunity” could be an item of equipment, an activity, a training course etc. We are keen to hear about the impact the opportunity will have on the applicant and what they hope to achieve from it.
