Eastbridge Hospital, Greyfriars Chapel and The Franciscan Gardens

The Eastbridge Award Scheme

The Eastbridge Award Scheme, established in 1986 with the encouragement of the then Archbishop of Canterbury, offers financial support to both young people (aged 14-19) and young adults (aged 19-25) who wish to undertake a project which will challenge themselves and improve the lives of others.

Your project may be located in this country or further afield. Past successful applicants have worked with the Corrymeela Community in Ireland, promoting peace and reconciliation. Others have been teaching assistants in Africa and South America.

Some projects have occupied a summer holiday, others a whole ‘gap year’. There is no set formula. It is up to you to suggest what constitutes your own challenge.

As a Christian Foundation, the Eastbridge Hospital is eager to promote projects which advance the welfare of others. However, no particular faith commitment is required of applicants.
