Aims/priorities: The Charity aims to provide children aged 13 years or younger who are disadvantaged, disabled or from areas of high deprivation with a short recreational holiday or outing they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience.
Who can apply? Schools, youth groups, not-for-profit organisations and charities in the UK are eligible to apply.
Priority will be given to projects that will benefit disadvantaged and disabled children in the most deprived areas in the UK. This means areas that fall within the bottom 20% according to the National Indices of Deprivation. For groups of children with disabilities, more flexibility will be given regarding the level of deprivation.
Grant amount: One-off grants of between £500 and £2,750 are available.
Application process: The next application window is open:
- 12 July to 19 November 2024 (for trips taking place 1 September to 31 December 2024).
Grants are made on a first come, first served basis until the available funding for that round has been fully allocated. All applications should be received at least six weeks before the date of the trip to allow for administrative processing and decision making.
An online application form and a set of guidelines can be found on the Charity's website.
Deadline: Tuesday 19 November 2024.
