The Lefevre Trust

An exciting new expansion of the Lefevre trust has been granted. This fund, formerly only available to inner London boroughs, is now being offered to young people aged between 11 and 19 throughout the whole of the UK.

The Trust aims to engage groups of young people in language and non-language activities with France and her overseas departements by providing grants that essentially cover reciprocal partner visits, to support a joint project between two partner groups.

The Trust is open to both the formal and non-formal education sector and encourages applications from SEN and harder to reach groups of young people. Find out more
