Andy Fanshawe Memorial Trust Grants

The Andy Fanshawe Memorial Trust (AFMT) awards grants to disadvantaged young people to develop an existing interest and experience in adventurous outdoor activities. This includes walking, climbing, cycling, kayaking, sailing, horse riding - either self-planned or for residential courses at an outdoor centre. The trust focuses on supporting applicants who demonstrate enthusiasm, initiative and a sense of adventure. Each year the trust gives eight to twelve grants averaging £400 each. Applicants must have existing experience in their chosen activity and demonstrate commitment to continuing their interest. The grants are intended to help young people develop their outdoor adventure skills and experience, with a particular focus on those who may face disadvantages or barriers to participation.
