We're Back!
After a period of inactivity due to changes within the Board of Trustees, I'm pleased to say that The Inspire Youth Foundation is back! We recently held a 'Coffee Morning' attended by Inspire staff, Young People, Relatives, Friends and Representatives from the Community which was a huge success and raised in excess of £700! (cash is still coming in!)
A new working group has been formed and are working on generating new ways to raise funds to support our fabulous good causes for children with life limiting illness / conditions, disabled children and young people who have left the care system. EVERY PENNY we raise goes to our good causes so please support the Foundation making a donation or getting involved in the Working group. Contact Mike Farrelly or Toby Gravener for details of how you can get involved om 01744 661201

Helping Children & Young People News!
We've been issuing grants to children being supported by Claire House - the local childrens hospice which does fantastic work caring and supporting children with life limiting conditions throughout the North West.
​
So far we've issued over £3000 in grants which have provided play equipment, paid for activities and outings which wouldn't otherwise have been possible. This financial support is not only directly supporting the children concerned but also their families.
​
We want to provide financial grants to support...
​
Children with life limiting conditions by providing funds to pay towards an activity, outing, equipment or hobby
Children with disabilities to help out with funds for hobbies, interests and activities
Post care leavers to fund help in getting a job, support training or education and being independent.
