The Learner Fund was first launched in 2013 but allocations have not taken place on a simple year by year basis, rather new phases of the Learner Fund have been launched on the basis of gauged demand and need in the Early Years sector.

Please see the following table which highlights the number of person who have benefitted from the learner fund each year since 2013.
