Other funding opportunities

We recognise that additional funding may sometimes be needed to support a visit, and so we have put together a list of websites providing links to grant / funding opportunities which you might find helpful.

Please note: these are not recommendations or confirmations that funding will be available, just suggestions of organisations to contact.

If you know of any other organisations who may be able to support schools or organisations with their outdoor visits, please email [email protected].
