Details

The fund supports projects with a strong Aberdeenshire connection which aim to provide education outdoors. Previous awards include forest schools, scout groups, sailing groups and schools. Funding has paid for the purchase of equipment, training for staff, and the costs of going on trips.

Applicants must:

• Show that their project will provide education in the outdoors
• Have a strong connection to Aberdeenshire to qualify for the grant.
• Show why the money is required to complete the project
• Be willing to fund-raise up to half the amount required themselves.
• Show a full breakdown of how the money will be spent.
• Be willing to write a report of the project afterwards, ideally including photographs and video footage that can be shared in our publicity materials, including on the Jo Walters Trust website and social media.
• Be willing to come and speak on behalf of the trust to generate interest for future grants/fundraising events.
