Hazel's Footprints Trust

FUNDING APPLICATION

Are you thinking about taking some time out and applying to do some voluntary work overseas.

Are you in a job but considering a sabbatical year away from the workplace?

Are you considering a gap year abroad between school and university/college?

Do you already have firm plans on what you’d like to do with your time abroad, but could use some extra funding?

We’d like to hear from you. Our application form will give you the opportunity to tell us in detail what you will be doing during your time abroad. We will consider your application without delay.

Aims of funding support from HFT.

To improve the life of the children of the country you visit. We feel that helping volunteers travel overseas to help in education is an extremely cost effective way of adding that extra something into the lives of those you visit.

To broaden your horizons by exposing you to a different culture and to develop your personality and self-confidence by helping others in less fortunate surroundings.

And thirdly, to provide the trust and its supporters with reports on your adventures and experiences. This not only gives those who donate something back, but will also act as a reference web site for others who are following you to help them make up their minds who to go with and where to go when they are making the difficult decision having taken the plunge of going on a Gap Year.

Hopefully, if all these aims are fulfilled, it will be a win, win, win situation!!!!!

Helpful hints for applicants.

1. Applications are open from people of any age from anywhere in Britain or Europe as long as reports can be written in English..

2.The preferred duration of the project is a year, however we will consider those going for less time, but no less than six months.

3.The project must be education related.

As we get more than double the number of applicants to the amount of money we have available we must make some difficult decisions and they will be based on:-

1. The quality of your project.

2. Whether we have met you, although we realise this is difficult for those who live further away.

3. Partly on a first come first served basis. We will give two or three awards for those setting off in January (applications by late November), the main awards for those going in the summer will be in early May and we will finish off again with two or three final awards in late June (cut-off point for funding applications will be 1st June).

4. Whether we feel you will send in good quality reports for the web site.

5. The value of how much money you have to raise and our estimation of the difficulty of that in each individual circumstance. Also where that money is going to; i.e. is it all going to an organisation or does some of it reach the project itself?

6. Whether we think you will make the most of a fantastic opportunity you are taking by helping those much less fortunate than yourselves.
