The Jubilee Sailing Trust
Several Scholars have completed voyages with The Jubilee Sailing Trust over the past year. The Jubilee Sailing Trusts matches disabled young people and able bodied volunteers who then sail one of the Trust's two tall ships on various routes around northern Europe |
To make the adminstration and application process of these schemes easier we are launching a travel grant scheme for any Ogden scholar to undertake the above projects, or any educational or worthwhile project or travel. We hope to make full details of this scheme available in the Spring on our scholars' website, www.ogdentrust.net. Fuller reports on all of the above trips are available at ogdentrust.net. The Trust also aims to run a trip to CERN, Europe's leading nuclear physics research site and home to the Large Hadron Collider, over the course of 2008.
For any further enquiries please email Anne Hoole at The Ogden Trust.
