Some students whose parents feel they need tuition may be able to get a small grant from an appropriate charitable trust in order to fund some or all of their lessons.  I first realised this when one of my students, who had suffered from a serious condition and missed a significant amount of schooling had her lessons paid for by a charity.  Another friend of mine sits on the committee of an educational charity which gives small grants to students from particular villages.

In an attempt to support some of my students I am collecting a list of local charities which have an educational grant available.  Of course, parents will have to apply to these charities to check that funding is available to them.
