Students of Prince William School have benefited from the money raised locally to send them on trips to participate in activities that they would not be able to afford since the Trust began.
Grants have been awarded for:
THE fund was set up in 1993 In memory of James, a former student of this school and member of the Army Cadets, who was killed in a car accident in January 1992. He ran discos in Oundle for youngsters in the area so they would have their own entertainment, and these were continued by his parents and his friends and the profits started up the fund.
The Trustees would like to thank all of the supporters of the fund who give their time to raise money in memory of James, to ensure students at PWS can be involved in all activities whatever their financial situation.
The Trust is targeted at families who need financial support to enable their children to take part in school activities. To provide education facilities, equipment in school to aid study and support out of hours school activities.
This is not necessarily for people receiving benefits, there are many families that are working, who find that due to various pressures they are unable to afford for their child to participate in a particular trip. A letter to support the application would be requested in such cases.
