SW Bursary Fund
Through monies raised in fundraising events run by the SW DofE office, we have been able to set up a fund to help disadvantaged young people from the SW to take part and complete their DofE.
GCSW Fund
Applications will be accepted from new groups or individuals for support with any section of the DofE programme. Applications from volunteer leaders for help with training costs may also be considered..
The Vanessa White Fund
Applications are welcome from any young person or their leaders in the South West Region where financial support is needed in order for them to engage in DofE programmes. The fund is in certain circumstances also able to assist leaders working with disadvantaged young people.
Bath Youth Trust
We have a small trust fund available to young leaders and participants from the Bath area and surrounding area. If you are a young leader undertaking expedition training/qualifications and need some help with funding or if you are a DofE participant who needs help with funding a service project or expedition then why not apply?
The Norman Family Charitable Trust
This fund is administered by the SW Regional Office on behalf of the Norman Family Charitable Trust to support young people undertaking DofE programmes in Somerset, Devon and Cornwall. Funds are limited, so we may not be able to help everyone who applies.
The SWiP Fund
