Henry Smith Charity Holiday Grants

The Henry Smith Charity has announced that its Holiday Grant for Children Programme will re-open for applications on Monday 2^nd May 2016.

Through the programme, 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 who are from deprived areas or have a disability.

Applications can be considered for holidays or outings which aim to provide children with a break they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. The maximum grant is usually £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. Activities should take place between Friday 1^st July and Wednesday 31^st August.

The closing date for applications is Friday 22^nd July 2016.
