Buttle UK is named after Frank Buttle, a remarkable man whose hard work and personal sacrifice helped to establish our grant programmes, which have been helping children and young people in need across the UK since 1953.
We do this by providing practical solutions that give children a fighting chance in life.
Buttle UK operates the following grant programmes:
Small Grants Programme
Delivering essential items to children, young people and families whose development, health and well-being are at risk. An essential item could be anything that we all take for granted but many families in poverty are living without, such as a children's bed, cooker, fridge-freezer or washing machine.
School Fees Programme
Some children, many because of problems at home, do not thrive in mainstream education, and so fail or drop out of school entirely. The School Fees Programme funds places at schools that provide a safe and supportive environment for those at future risk of going into formal care. It enables children with medical, emotional or social difficulties to gain a stable and more supportive secondary education.
Support for Young People
Our Enhanced Packages Programme provides funding of up to £2,000 for estranged young people aged 16-20. Our caseworking team works directly with young people and referrers to remove the financial barriers that stand in the way of achieving their long-term education, employment or training goals
