How does it Work?
How does it Work?
Children and young people between the ages of five and eighteen can receive financial assistance to access a wide range of activities, including those connected with the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Scouting, Girl Guiding, school field trips etc. as well as holidays run for youngsters with life-limiting illnesses.
1. Activities must be designed to aid personal and social development of an individual or group and applications can be made at any time.
2. Individuals and groups should preferably have been professionally identified by teachers, healthcare staff, group leaders etc, as requiring financial support.
3. The trustees meet during the year to assess all applications and make decisions on which grants can be approved. In exceptional circumstances support may be given at short notice.

Financial grants can be for any individual or groups as long as they are between five and eighteen years of age.
All activities should have been assessed to ensure current Health and Safety, Safeguarding and Vulnerable Children's policies are in place.
Points to remember when applying
Points to remember when applying
Please try to get your application in as soon as possible, leaving good time before your planned events, as the Trust only meets a few times a year.
To support as many groups as possible, grants are usually on a 'one off' basis rather than repeated funding. Priority is given to those who have not received a grant before.
All grants are entirely at the discretion of the Trustees and we regret that if your application is rejected, there is no process of appeal on the decision.
If you want to apply please get in touch
