Henry Smith Charity - Holiday Grants

Grants towards recreational holidays or outings within the UK for children aged 13 and under who are from areas of high deprivation, are experiencing disadvantage, or who have a disability. Trips can be to countryside or city locations, but must be outside the children’s immediate locality.

Funding covers

One-off recreational trips (e.g. camping, adventure activities, seaside visits). No high-cost places, such as theme parks, musicals, sporting events, or trips with educational or religious aims.

Who can apply

Schools, youth groups, not for profit organisations and charities who are arranging trips for children aged 13 and under in the UK who are disabled or disadvantaged are all eligible to apply. Their priority is reaching the 20% most deprived areas.

Deadlines

At least 5 weeks before the trip date, see Funding Guidelines for the submission dates.
