Travel Grant


Application for this year’s ten categories for the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust travel grants is now available. The Trust is offering 150 grants in 2019 to individuals who are passionate about making a real difference with new ideas and projects from overseas. Closing date for applications is 18 September 2018. To find out more contact: www.wcmt.org.uk

The Trust works closely with The Mental Health Foundation and historically has funded a lot of mental health fellowships. Although this year’s categories do not specifically include mental health, there is an Open category that it could be applied for. Here are some examples of Fellows who have looked at issues related to mental health, to mark Mental Health Awareness week:

The scoop of the WCMT categories for approx. £6,000 grant for an overseas travel grant is broad and diverse. There are ten categories each year and this year as well as the Open category there are three other categories that may suit therapists and trainers involving: 

Suicide Prevention, Healthcare, Nursing and Allied Health Professions, re. www.wcmt.org.uk
