2026 Learning Grants Scheme

“The Learning Grant scheme is designed to help groups try something new, develop their activities, or enhance members’ learning in creative ways” – Jenny Thwaites (Chair)

Learning Grants Scheme update - 2026 awards!

We are delighted that 13 Learning Grants have now been awarded. These will support Interest Groups across a range of Interest Hubs in carrying out a variety of innovative projects, including educational visits, equipment purchases, input from experts, and promoting a group publication.  We hope to share more news over the next few months as the projects take shape. 

You may already have seen our initial report, circulated via the Interest Hub network, but if not, click to read a shortened version. 

Thanks to everyone who contributed to developing the pilot Learning Grants Scheme, and to all the participating groups!
