The Bishop Laney Foundation provides grants to help apprentices and students from Ely and Soham with their training and further education.
The foundation has given these grants to assist school leavers aged under 25 living in Ely or Soham, for over 340 years.
The trust is managed by six trustees, three from Ely and three from Soham.
They meet six times a year to oversee the various aspects of the foundation and to preserve the legacy of Bishop Benjamin Laney.
