Grants to support getting young people into the outdoors

The RDC Foundation will consider applications from a registered charity* for up to £1000 toward equipment to support adventurous outdoor activities for young people under the age of 21. These activities need to develop their mental, physical and moral capabilities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.

*Please note that a registered Scout or GirlGuiding group is also acceptable. Any group applying must not generate an annual income >£100K p.a. and there can be no employee of the charity earning more than £60K p.a. 

The RDC Foundation will consider applications from an individual, under the age of 21,  for up to £1000 toward a self-led* expedition, travels or adventurous activity to develop their mental, physical and moral capabilities so that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.

Please note a significant role in the organisation of the trip is a key part of the learning experience. Therefore, we do not award grants for organised trips. (e.g. Scout Jamboree, Project Trust, Operation Raleigh, Organised Volunteering).
