Grants to Support Educational Visits (London & Essex)19th February 2024

Funding is available to support schools and youth organisations in London and Essex with the costs of making visits to museums, theatres, science shows and more.

The Jack Petchey Foundation’s Educational Visit Grants provide funding of up to £1,200 (£20 per head) for up to two trips per calendar year to schools and clubs that successfully run the Achievement Award Scheme. SEND schools/organisations, Pupil Referral Units and Alternative Education Provisions can apply up to £60 per person for day trips and £100 per person for residentials trips.

The aim of the fund is to help young people to develop a wide range of valuable personal and social skills, as well as providing the chance to learn outside of the classroom.

Trips must be of educational value and funding can be used towards transport or entrance fees.

Applications can be made at any time but must be received at least 14 days before the educational visit.
