Small grants are 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 provides funding of up to £1,200 (£20 per head) for up to two trips per calendar year to schools and clubs who successfully run the Achievement Award Scheme.

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.

Over the years, over 11,340 young people have been supported with these grants.

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

Applications can be made at any time.
