Don’t forget to apply for Educational Grants from the Michael Hardinge Trust

The Michael Hardinge Trust makes grants available to all children and young people in Horley at various stages in their education. Two kinds of grants are available:

  • Universal grants – a fixed sum paid to every child on request at up to four stages of their education: rising fives about to start school (£100); at the start of secondary education (£300); at the start of A Levels, college training apprenticeships etc (£500); at the start of further education/university (£1000).
  • Discretionary grants – awarded at the discretion of the trustees in response to a written request by a village resident or a local school or educational institute in relation to a specific educational project or activity.

Universal grants are due at the start of the educational year and must be applied for no later than three months after the due date. If you have an eligible child or you are a young person but haven’t yet applied, now is the time to do so.

To apply for a grant, please write to Jane Williams (the trustee responsible for co-ordinating grants) at jag.williams@btinternet.com giving your details and the reason for the grant.

Harvest Crafts – here are the creations!

‘Here are some of the colourful creations we came up with in our fun-filled harvest festival morning at St Etheldreda’s on 6th October.  I’d wondered how our local children would do with a very free-form craft project – making creatures out of vegetables, but the imagination and creativity on display in the photos here speaks for itself.  We had a fantastic time and enjoyed worshipping tother at the harvest service afterwards with traditional harvest hymns and the children contributing to the service.  Thanks to all who came for making it such a fun and meaningful event.‘ Guy Edwards – Associate Priest.
