GRANTS

The grants we make are modest, usually up to a few hundred pounds:

• to individuals or groups living in the UK, particularly disabled and young people, wishing to make pilgrimages to recognised Christian shrines in the UK or overseas; and
• to young people or groups of young people living in the UK wishing to make educational visits to recognised places of Christian worship or learning in the UK or overseas. 

To help as many people as possible, our grants are contributions towards pilgrimage costs and not meant to cover the whole cost of a pilgrimage. 

The grants we make are modest, usually up to a few hundred pounds. 

We consider applications from people of all ages and from all cultural and religious backgrounds. 

When considering applications, we like to hear about:

• the reasons for making the pilgrimage 
• the benefits the individual or group hopes to gain from the pilgrimage
• any other information brought to our attention. 

We pay no attention to an applicant’s marital status, disability, race (including colour, nationality, ethnic or national origin), religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation, gender reassignment, or whether the applicant is pregnant or on maternity leave.

If you wish to apply for a grant from the Trust, please contact us.

Our Trustees consider applications at their meetings, usually three times a year. If an application is urgent, for example because the pilgrimage dates mean an earlier reply is needed, the Trustees can consider the application between meetings.
