How to Apply:
Complete the application form linked to at the bottom of this page and email it to office@nelsonspirit.co.uk
- The advisory board will consider the application and inform you of their decision by email. Consideration will be given to the level of detail in the form, evidence of a significant amount of funds already raised and the quality of the plan to raise the balance
- Following consideration by the board, some applicants will be made an offer of a grant
NB: If the proposed trip/project is cancelled then we would expect allocated funds to be returned to the Nelsonspirit fund. This will not preclude anyone from reapplying in the future.
Fund Exclusions:
- Any trips, projects and expeditions that are part of a programme of educational study, for example part of a university course
Recipients need to meet three conditions on receipt of the offer:
- After their return, the recipient comes along to one of our Nelsonspirit Leaders meetings to present a short talk about their experience to our funders.
- The recipient sends us images of themselves on their project, upon completion, for use in our Nelsonspirit marketing.
