Local students aged 13-19 have until 31 January 2024 to apply for a grant to enable them to travel or complete a special project – either on their own or in small groups.
The Award is named after the late Henry Morris, who developed the idea of the ‘Village College’ and established Impington Village College. Each year the Trust set up in his name supports young people in Cambridgeshire schools to undertake ‘projects with purpose’ that they plan themselves.
Successful applicants will receive an award – normally in the region of £20 to £200 – towards the costs of their activity, and the expectation is that they will generate any shortfall in funding.
Examples of projects include travelling by train to spend a day at the best skate-park in the country; walking the Norfolk Coastal Path; building a drone; and writing and publishing a children’s book.
