Training and business grants - a new initiative

Are you an Order member wishing to train or retrain to support yourself in future? Or do you have the necessary skills but not the means to start a small business?

If a lack of funds is getting in the way of you building a sustainable livelihood, get in touch with us about our new training and business start-up grants. We offer grants of up to £1500 to those with limited savings, and will also consider running an appeal where more than that is needed.

Much of our grant work is focused on helping Order members with immediate financial difficulties, as well as funding retreats, but we are keen to explore supporting some Order members to build an ongoing source of income for themselves through training or running their own business. We have been making start-up business grants in India like this since the covid pandemic caused many Order members there to lose their jobs; we are now open to applications from Order members elsewhere in the world. Get in touch with taradakini@abhayaratnatrust.org for more information.
