In their words
The difference a grant makes
“I cannot tell you how much we appreciate your help. My child is now able to continue his sporting activities. I appreciate it so very much.”
A parent
“We are grateful for your support – it makes a real difference to the experience of the children in the Scout Group across all three sections.”
A local Scout Group
“I am writing to thank you so much for awarding me a grant for my studies. I was absolutely overjoyed to hear this wonderful news.”

What we fund
Also funded this year
Alongside our grants for activities, school trips and student bursaries, this year we also funded support for young people’s wellbeing in schools. In secondary schools, this included 1:1 counselling. At primary level, we funded a trial of counselling for primary-age children, as well as a four-week mindfulness course for Year 6 classes. These awards supported both individual counselling and provision for whole classes, across primary and secondary school settings.
