We provide grants to support projects that address issues and challenges faced by children and young people with disabilities and/or life-limiting conditions and their families. This could be a one-off event or a series of events for different groups of children, or a project that leaves a significant legacy of change and inclusion.
Your project should provide positive activities for children and young people with disabilities, help develop their skills, whilst also creating a lasting impact. Each project will be considered on its own merit.
SEND schools and units, children’s hospices, charities and social enterprises (community interest companies, co-operatives and limited companies) based in the UK are all eligible to submit an expression of interest. Children and young people with disabilities and life-limiting conditions must be the primary beneficiaries of your project. You must have raised at least 25% of the project costs prior to applying for this grant.
Applicants may apply once a year and the project should take place between 1st November – 31st October. Where budgets permit, we will consider funding for children and young people aged 5-16 without a condition.
Please note, we do not fund:
If a grant is awarded, it will be paid in instalments. The process of payment will be reviewed on a grant by grant basis and monitoring information will need to be submitted to support each instalment. You may be visited by a member of the Daytrippers team.
The deadline for accepting expressions of interest is now closed. Please check back in 2020 for information regarding Legacy grant opportunities.
If you have an idea and are considering applying, please contact us in advance to talk it through then we will be able to advise on whether it is suitable for this grant. You can email us at enquiries@daytrippers.org.uk or call on 020 7758 0030.
We have a limited amount of funding available but will aim to allocate it across the most deserving projects to help create maximum impact and value. Each year the applications will be considered on their own merits so there won’t be a set number of projects we aim to support. We are more interested in the projects aims and whether it will be leaving a legacy of change and inclusion.
Projects that benefit larger numbers of children and young people may appear as better value for money, however, we are interested in high value experiences. Each grant will be reviewed by a panel and considered on its own merit.
Shortlisted applicants will be asked to submit an application form by 20th September. Applicants will be informed of the final outcome by 31st October 2019.

We can only accept submissions for one project idea at a time. You may apply for a grant in each of our funding streams (Day Trips, Events & Workshops and Legacy) once a year (1st November – 31st October). If in receipt of a grant, it must be closed before you can apply for another grant.
