Aspirational Awards

What are Aspirational Awards?
Aspirational Awards are sums of money given to young people to help them achieve their aspirations.

You can apply for one award, this can either be:

• An Aspirational Award to help you achieve an ambition or dream that will have a lasting impact on your life.
• The Reconomy Entrepreneurial Award is for anyone wanting to set up their own business and will consist of a financial award and coaching and mentoring from a member of their staff.

Both applications are contained in the Aspirational Award briefing pack - please choose the correct application form when requesting an award.

What are they for?
They are to help you to do something that will have a long-term impact on your life. They could help you to access a training course, set up a business, visit family who you have never met who live in a different country or develop a sporting interest. The list is endless, but it does have to have a long-term benefit.

Who are they for?
They are for anyone who has completed the House Project Programme and has been living in their own home for at least 6 months.
