This trust provides grants of up to £15,000 to activity schemes for autistic children and young people, and their siblings, which run in the school holidays. Grants are usually for part of the costs.

The funding is for either:

Autistic-specific activity programmes that run in the school holidays in the UK (including sessions for siblings), or:
The costs to include autistic children and young people who require one-to-one or greater support to take part in other (non autistic specific) play and activity schemes.

Applications will be accepted from not-for-profit organisations that:

Have a safeguarding policy.
Use trained staff (not parents/guardians). For autistic children and young people who take part in other play and activity schemes (non-autistic specific schemes), staff must have specialist training to provide one-to-one support or greater.
Have a bank account with two people to authorise or check on payments.

Priority for funding will be given to autistic-specific schemes.

Applications open on 3 February 2025 and close on 28 February 2025.
