Overview
Pebble Trust is a national charity registered in England and Wales, supporting charities, voluntary bodies and the general public for general charitable purposes, as its trustees decide. It also runs a Talent Grants scheme, offering grants of up to £750 to young people with exceptional talent — for example in sport, music, the performing or visual arts, or academia — who live in Brighton and Hove and are aged between 13 and 19 at the time of application. Grants are decided in January and June, and money is not paid directly to the applicant; BACS payments are usually made to a school, college or other organisation to be held for the applicant's use.
