2022 & 2023

We are hoping that by summer 2023 young people's confidence and willingness to travel abroad will have returned fully; in the meantime we are open for 2022 grants on an individual basis- please apply to our email address!

Are you 16-21? Live in Rugby. Going abroad to learn or help, others?

Having a break before University, Sixth Form or College? Keen to travel? See the world?

Each year we make a small number of travel grants for 16-21 year olds who live in Rugby. The grants are intended as a contribution to Gap Year funding or for 2-3 week  journeys. Our David Lindop Award is broader. We make a sizeable grant to an individual who is organising an educational or charitable project. Our 2022 process is now open and will continue until after the Easter holidays. Please apply or ask a question. Visit our contact page.
