Project Ideas

Projects involving Travel – Please note that the Trust will not make awards for travel overseas in 2022  because of the coronavirus.

Independent travel can be a wonderful experience – especially travel with a purpose. Just getting there and being there is part of it. See below for some of the projects which the Trust has helped to fund in the past.
