The Andy Fanshawe Memorial Trust

The Andy Fanshawe Memorial Trust provides grants to individual young people, small groups, or not-for-profit organisations such as schools or youth clubs for self-planned outdoor activities or residential courses at outdoor centres in the United Kingdom. The charity normally makes between 8 and 12 awards each year, with grants of up to £400 available. The trust requires applicants to demonstrate development of existing experience and interest, include an element of adventure in their plans, and have conducted some fundraising before applying. There is a matched funding expectation, requiring applicants to have sought funding from other sources before applying. Applications can be submitted at any time on a rolling basis, with no formal application form required. Applicants must submit their proposal via email in less than 1000 words, covering details about who is applying, the project plans, beneficiaries, relevant experience, how funding will help develop their interest, plans for continuing progress, fundraising efforts, overall budget, and the amount requested. Individual applicants must provide a named referee, and all successful applicants are expected to write a short report after their adventure.
