HALF is a trust set up to support educational needs of groups and individuals from Hinton Waldrist and Longworth.
The idea was first mooted in 1994 and was fully realised in 1996.
This is your local charity
To aid your educational activities.
We need your support.
Each year a number of fund raising events, such as The Longworth Run, Hinton Open Gardens, “Call My Wine Bluff”,
Roving Suppers, are organised by various members of both communities loosely co-ordinated into a Steering Committee.
Half the money raised is invested into long term ethical funds and the rest is given out in grants.
The trustees administer the funds and award the grants. Written applications for grants can be submitted bi-annually -
by 31 May with the awards made in June, and 30 November with the awards made in January.
The present chair of the Steering Group is Ellis Auckland. The trustees are:
- Peter Darvall (chair)
- Sarah Young (treasurer)
- Andrew Graham-Watson (secretary)
- Ellis Auckland
- Michele Hall
- Esther Lewis
- Valia Wood
Any ideas for events, offers of support and all enquiries are welcomed!
What are the grants for?
For an application to be successful it must further the educational development of the applicant or the community
group which is making the submission. Education is understood in its broadest context.
Who can apply?
Applicants must normally come from Hinton Waldrist (including Duxford) or Longworth, and should be residents or
people who work locally; or come from a group offering benefits to The Community; or, at the discretion of the
Trustees, be a past resident with strong current links to the local Community.
How to apply
Applications for a grant must be sent in writing to HALF Trustees, c/o The Treasurer giving full details of the
amount required, the full cost of the education need (if only part funding being requested) and a description of
the training/purpose for the grant. Applications for grants are processed bi-annually: applications must be
received by 31 May and will be assessed by the Trustees at a grant giving meeting in June of the same year and
again on the 30 November and assessed in January 6 weeks later.
What happens next?
The Treasurer shall acknowledge all applications.
After the grants meeting, the Treasurer shall inform the successful and unsuccessful applicants in writing within 21 days.
The successful applicants shall, where appropriate be asked for an invoice(s) or receipt(s) to support the amount of the grant.
Gap-year/gap-holiday type students shall be required to share their experiences with some of The Community eg the School/ Good Neighbours/ Church/ Friends of Longworth School.
Should a successful applicant not take any interest in their award, it shall fall away at the end of the year in which it was granted.
