Henry Smith Charity Holiday Grants for Children Reopened

Posted on June 15, 2017

The Henry Smith Charity has re-opened its Holiday Grant for Children Programme, with the closing date for applications being Friday 21^st July.

Schools, youth groups and not for profit organisations can apply for grants towards holidays or outings within the UK for children aged 13 and under from deprived areas, or who have a disability. Applications can be considered for holidays or outings that aim to provide children with a break they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. The maximum grant is typically £2,500 for any one trip.

Grants are normally limited to a maximum of two-thirds of the total cost of a trip, as the charity would expect some local partnership funding to be in place. Additionally, the Henry Smith Charity must receive the application at least 6 weeks before the date of the trip, to allow for administrative processing and decision-making.
