Religion & Worldviews Home Educators’ Fund
Relaunching 1st September 2025!
Are you home educating in Northamptonshire, Leicestershire or the West Midlands region?
We’re excited to relaunch the Religion and Worldviews Home Educators’ Fund; a small grants programme designed for and by home educators. If you’re exploring how to support your children’s learning about different worldviews – religious and non-religious – this fund is for you.
This autumn apply for a grant to help you:
- Explore different approaches to RE/religion and worldviews education
- Create meaningful learning experiences that help your children engage with different beliefs, values, and ways of seeing the world
- Try out new ideas or resources
This fund was co-designed by home educating families and three charities: All Saints Educational Trust, Culham St Gabriel’s, and St Peter’s Saltley Trust in order to increase support for exploring quality RE in home ed settings
Applications open 1st September 2025
What do we mean by religion and worldviews education?
Religion and worldviews education helps children explore how people make sense of life and the world around them.
A religion is a shared set of beliefs, values and practices often connected to ideas about meaning, purpose or the divine.
A worldview is how someone understands and responds to the world. Everyone has a worldview, whether or not it’s religious.
By learning about different religions and worldviews, children can:
- Understand and respect different beliefs and ways of life
- Think about their own ideas and values
- Ask big questions about life, meaning, and purpose
- Feel more confident talking with people who see the world differently
