The Wellington Crowthorne Trust promotes the spiritual, moral, mental and physical capacities of persons resident in the Parishes of Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Finchampstead and Wokingham Without in the pursuit of educational activities, with preference given to those under the age of 25.

The Trust was established in 1978 with the sale of two London buildings belonging to alumni of Wellington College. Today it is governed and managed as an independent charity by Wellington College staff, alumni and members of the local community. The trustees meet three times per year to consider the applications submitted for grants, generally at the beginning of the school term.

We welcome applications for support from:

• School teachers in respect of pupils who would not otherwise be able to attend field trips/residential courses because of the family’s financial or home circumstances.
• Individual pupils undertaking volunteering projects
• Any young person with special talents in their chosen sport or pursuit requiring financial support to attend international, national or regional competitions or events.
• University students undertaking research projects.

Please note:

At this point in time, we are not accepting applications for trips to long-haul (outside of UK or Europe) destinations.

Only those resident in or attending the schools located in Crowthorne, Sandhurst, Finchampstead and Wokingham Without are eligible for a grant from the Trust.
