Olive and Jesse Palmer Fund

The Olive and Jesse Palmer Fund, delivered by the Cambridgeshire Community Foundation, supports local voluntary and community organisations in Peterborough working with young people who have learning disabilities. The fund aims to improve access to positive activities and development opportunities that help individuals build confidence, skills and independence.

Grants of up to £5,000 are available to not-for-profit organisations delivering projects that enhance wellbeing, encourage social participation and enable young people to reach their full potential. Funding can support a range of activities, including inclusive sports, arts and social programmes, specialist equipment, and project-related staffing costs, provided they directly benefit local young people

The programme focuses on practical, community-based initiatives that create meaningful opportunities for engagement and personal development. By supporting accessible and inclusive provision, the fund helps organisations address local needs and strengthen community support for young people with learning disabilities.

With multiple application deadlines throughout the year, this fund offers a flexible and accessible route for organisations seeking to expand or enhance services that deliver clear, positive outcomes for young people and their families.
