Apply now

Contact the team if you have any questions, and to tell us know how the bursary helped you to get involved in a new activity, pursue an interest or join a club.

What is it?

The bursary provides additional support for every young person who completes one of the YAT Programmes and is available until the end of Year 11. It is designed to help you take the next step after your time on the programme, whether that is getting involved in new activities, joining clubs, or exploring other opportunities. Support can include help with the cost of clothing, kit or equipment, membership fees, travel expenses, or one off costs linked to an organised activity, club, or event.

Thank you for helping me purchase a new bag and money belt which both came in very handy on my Scout expeditionDaniel, age 15

I would like to say a massive thanks to Youth Adventure Trust for giving me this opportunity. I have really enjoyed going to the gym with friends. It gives me somewhere to release my frustrations and stress from school and looking after my mum. It has also helped to improve my confidence hugely.Ben, age 16
