The main areas prioritised for funding are: homelessness, addiction, abuse, and 
child carers.

 

Working with [Coram Chambers](http://www.coramchambers.co.uk/), the foundation offers
grants of between £200 and £2500 for projects that could make a discernible difference
to a young person’s life, such as accommodation assistance, support with educational
equipment or training, music or art courses, private therapeutic treatment or counselling,
or funding for organised activities and family trips. Funds will be made out directly
to the service provider for successful applications.

 

Funding applications are invited from lawyers involved in children cases, social
workers or guardians, and these applications will be presented to the trustees of
the7stars foundation four times a year, at meetings in March, June, September and
December. They can be sent to foundation director Alexandra Taliadoros at al*******@********************
co.uk.
