Who We Help
Since the Caley became an educational trust in 1996 we have awarded grants totalling over ONE MILLION POUNDS to qualifying young Scots and projects. This has made a real difference to the educational prospects of our scholars, and we are always looking for further, suitable, applicants.
Here are some examples of those we have helped:
- Many children in primary and secondary education have been helped with the cost of school uniforms and school trips. We do consider school fees but only in exceptional circumstances. We are currently paying living expenses grants of £120 a month to over thirty scholars in further
and higher education. This includes a number of actors, dancers and musicians.
- From time to time we have been able to help with the huge costs of travel and training for young athletes.
- Occasionally we can help with a educational project whose participants include a number of qualifying young Scots.
- We have 10 Scholarships per year of up to £1,000 each for those planning to go on a GAP project which will last six months or longer. We are very proud of our Gap Scholars who have helped or who continue to help communities all over the world.
- Music, particularly the pipes, is a high priority for us and we are helping a number of future champion pipers.
If you think we might be able to help you please contact us on 01923 215350. John Horsfield, our Chief Executive, and Debbie Blackman, our Administrator, are available to assist you.
Or, alternatively, for an application form.
But please remember we can only help the children (no age limit) of Scots who have served in the Armed Forces, or the children of poor Scots living in the London area.
