Henry Smith's Charity - Holiday Grants for Children (UK)
The Henry Smith’s Charity is accepting applications through its Holiday Grant for Children Programme.
Applications can be made by schools, youth groups, not for profit organisations and charities for grants towards holidays or outings within the UK for children aged 13 and under who are from areas of high deprivation, are experiencing disadvantage, or those who have a disability.
Applications can be considered for holidays or outings that have the objective of providing children with a break they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. The maximum grant available is £2,500 for any one trip. Grants are normally limited to a maximum of two-thirds of the total cost of a trip as we would expect some local partnership funding to be in place.
There are no closing dates and applications can be submitted at any time.
