Corporate grants for education and training
Education and training can help build a strong future for the UK’s construction industry and for the people who make it work.
Does your organisation support people with education and training in construction? Good news. You may be eligible for a corporate grant from the Construction Workers’ Charitable Trust (formerly B&CE Charitable Trust).
