Help for education & training
Education and training can help build a strong future for the UK’s construction industry and for the people who make it work.
Grants for organisations
Does your organisation support people with education and training in construction? Good news. You may be eligible for a corporate grant from the B&CE Charitable Trust.
Grants are available for projects that either promote careers in the construction industry or lead to accredited qualifications.
We encourage applications from not-for-profit organisations, excluding public sector. However, if you’re unsure, please get in touch.
If you’d like to find out more about our grants for organisations or make an application, please get in touch – email us at charitabletrust@bandce.co.uk.
