We want as many young people as possible to benefit from an enriching experience in the outdoors and have the opportunity to learn more about the Christian faith; whether they take part in a Christian youth group or summer camp, or through a school residential.

Based on our charitable aims, the purpose of the Quantick Bursary fund is to enable disadvantaged children and young people (under 18) to come to Heatree, who might not otherwise get the opportunity to do so.

The bursary is in memory of Elizabeth Quantick, who officially started the Heathercombe Brake Trust charity in 1956.

Who Can Apply?

Christian Youth Groups or Youth Camps

Group leaders apply for funding on behalf of the group as a whole; a discount of 30% will be applied to the total group charge.*

The following criteria must be met to be eligible for funding:

• The programme will have a clear Gospel focus.
• There will be input from Heatree staff throughout the visit through booked activity sessions.
• The adults/leaders will be coming to serve and teach the young people rather than be taught themselves.
• At least 50% of the group is under 18.

SEND School Pupils

School pupils will need to have an EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) or an IHCP (Individual, Health and Care Plan) in place to be eligible. School staff will need to complete an application form on the young person’s behalf and provide evidence of their EHCP or IHCP (for GDPR purposes, a care plan front cover is sufficient). A discretionary discount of 30% will be applied to the cost of the trip.*
