Ernest Cook Trust (The) Outdoor Essentials Grant Scheme (UK) – Deadline: Rolling
Grants of £500 are available to UK state funded primary and secondary schools to enable them to get their pupils learning outdoors.
UK stage funded special or alternative provision schools are also eligible to apply. The Ernest Cook Trust’s Outdoor Essentials Grant scheme will award 180 grants to:
• Support school travel and transport costs to outdoor learning venues, including outdoor learning centres, forest schools, countryside parks, woodlands, national parks, farm parks, farms (including city farms), coastal areas and beaches. Trips to outdoor adventure centres for outdoor activities (such as kayaking and climbing) may also be considered.
• Support schools to enhance ‘nature on the doorstep’ through improvements to school grounds or areas within their local communities. The grant can also be used for the purchase or outdoor learning resources that engage young people with the environment such as bug hotels, bird boxes and mini-beast investigations.
Applications must be made by a member of staff employed by the school and approved the Head Teacher. Multi-Academy Trusts can also apply, but applications must be made by the individual schools.
The round will close to applications when sufficient grant applications have been approved.
