Winant Clayton Volunteers aims to offer volunteering abroad to people from all backgrounds. In order to make our exchange programme accessible to a diverse range of candidates, we have a bursary scheme through which we can offer a limited number of subsidised places.
We offer two types of subsidised places:
- Tower Hamlets and Southwark awards (up to £1000)
Applicants must live or work in the boroughs of Tower Hamlets or Southwark. You must be able to demonstrate that you are in significant financial hardship and that financial assistance is necessary for you to be able to take part. You must also demonstrate your commitment to using the experience you gain on the programme to benefit your Tower Hamets or Southwark community on your return.
- Winant Clayton Volunteers hardship award (up to £1000)
Applicants can like or work in any part of the UK. You must be able to demonstrate that you are in significant financial hardship and that financial assistance is necessary for you to be able to take part. You must also demonstrate your commitment to using your experience to benefit your community and support Winant Clayton Volunteers, on your return.
We also offer a smaller award:
- Irish heritage awards (up to £300)
Applicants must show proof of Irish (including Northern Irish) heritage. You must also be able to demonstrate the need for financial assistance.
The amount awarded to each candidate is at the discretion of Winant Clayton Volunteers.
Candidates may apply for more than one type of bursary. Those who apply for the Tower Hamlets and Southwark award or the Winant Clayton Volunteers award will not be considered for unsubsidised places.
To apply, read the Bursary Guidance carefully to check your eligibility. Then complete the financial statement form and submit along with the other necessary documents (see checklist in guidance).
