Questor Bursaries are small grants given to support children and young people from 0 to 18 years old who come from low or lower-income families. This includes (but is not restricted to) families
- in receipt of income-related benefits;
- living in social housing;
- whose children qualify for free school meals or healthy start vouchers
- who would otherwise struggle to pay for their child to attend activities to enthuse their learning.
Funding is provided to enable them to take part in activities that make learning exciting and fun. The type of things we will fund are limited only by the child or young person’s imagination. Learning can be online, face to face or a combination of the two.
The average size of the grants we give is £250. We welcome one application per child or young person a year. We know this is not enough to pay for ongoing courses or lessons. However, we do hope it will enable them to
- LEARN new things and try new challenges
- EXPLORE existing interests or master skills in greater depth
- MAKE new friends and have new experiences
- HAVE FUN!
