Arvon special grant for voluntary workers

This year we were able to offer a special grant to a voluntary worker, thanks to an anonymous donor.

The recipient of our first Arvon special grant for voluntary workers is Andrew Kenny.

We received many wonderful applications from some very dedicated and talented people, whose voluntary work included working with young people, asylum seekers, in the Arts, in mental health and with The Samaritans, amongst others. So it was a difficult decision, but our anonymous donor was inspired by Andrew’s letter and felt that he would personally get a lot out of his chosen course. 

Andrew will attend a course at Lumb later this year and will report back on his experience on this site.

So thank you if you entered and commiserations this time. We will offer a second bursary in 2009, more details of which will be on the Arvon site at the end of 2008.
