Inspire

Principles for consideration of application for awards:

1. Purpose

1.1 To help young people, especially but not exclusively through leisure time activities so as to develop their capabilities that they may grow to full maturity as individuals and members of society.

2. Criteria

The Awards are to be made to those individuals of proven ability who have potential to excel in their fields of sport, the creative arts, or their community, and reflect the spirit of the JHMT legacy. A demonstration of how the award/applicant will help others is strongly encouraged.

3. Budget

3.1 The Trustees will allocate an annual budget from a date they determine both cumulatively and for individual awards. Not more than one award will be made to an individual annually but individuals can apply each year, up to a maximum of three. A previous award of a grant does not guarantee a successful application in subsequent years.

3.2 It should be noted that not all individuals who meet the criteria will receive awards due to the limited finance available for distribution.

3.3 Any underspend in a year will be carried forward to the next year.

4. Eligibility

4.1 Applicants must be aged between 13 and 21 and over at the time of application.

4.2 Applications will not be considered in retrospect.

4.3 Recipients who following an award do not submit a report to the Trust on how a previous award was used and results attained and contribute at least 2 blogs will not be considered for a future award.
