Funding for Holiday Activities for Autistic Children and Young People – Opens 2nd February
/This grants programme runs once a year.
The 2026 round will only fund autistic-specific holiday schemes. The programme will be for autistic-specific activity programmes that run in the school holidays in the UK, including sessions for siblings.
Not-for-profit organisations in the UK can apply for grants of up to £15,000 which are usually for part of the costs to run the activity schemes.
To be eligible, applicants must:
Have a safeguarding policy.
Have Public Liability Insurance.
If paying staff, have Employer’s Liability Insurance.
Use professional trained staff and volunteers (not parents/guardians).
Have bank account with two people to authorise or check on payments.
Have an income of less than £1 million.
Please note there is a high demand for this programme and last year the grant round closed for applications one day after it opened.
The 2026 round will open for expressions of interest on 2 February 2026 with a deadline of 13 February 2026 (17:00). For more information please visit Holiday activity schemes for autistic children and young people | Three Guineas Trust
