Inspired by the educational reforms of Quaker Joseph Lancaster, our vision is to maximise educational opportunity for all. We support organisations that reach out to children and young people in remote or impoverished areas, improving inclusivity in education and providing much-needed facilities.

The BFSS gives grants for educational projects totalling up to £600,000 in a year.

The majority of our grants are given to charities and educational organisations for the purpose of advancing educational opportunity.
