Henry Smith Charity - Holiday Grants

Key grant details:

• Grant size - £500 - £2,750
• Length - One-off short grants
• Decision timescale - 6 weeks
• Deadlines - Submission dates vary depending when trips or holidays take place

Qualifying criteria:

Please only apply for this grant if you meet the following criteria:

• Location of work - UK only, with priority to the 20% most deprived areas
• Funding covers - Short holidays and recreational trips
• Organisation type - Schools, youth groups, not for profit organisations and charities

You can ask us to help towards a single trip, which could be a day trip or a longer residential of up to seven days in length. This could be to a countryside or city location but ideally should be outside the children's immediate locality. We will consider trips which are more local but these should have an emphasis on providing a new experience for the children and broadening their horizons. Examples include camping, trips to adventure activity centres or the seaside.

We prioritise applications that will benefit disadvantaged or disabled children living in the most deprived areas of the UK. For Holiday Grants this means areas that fall within the bottom 20% according to the National Indices of Deprivation. We can be more flexible on levels of deprivation where disabled children are involved, but it will still be one factor in our assessment.
