Leaders of Tomorrow Bursary
Oval James Insurance Brokers are pleased again to invite applications from our Client Churches for our ‘Leaders of Tomorrow Bursary’.
The purpose behind the Bursary is to provide small grants to individuals/groups who would be undertaking training/research or study into Youth Ministry, Leadership and/or Development who will at the end of their training, put back what they have learnt into their own Congregation.
We are delighted that we will again be able to distribute the bursary courtesy of our Insurer partners Royal & Sun Alliance and Ecclesiastical.
The total amount of funds available is £5,000. Average grants issued since the Bursary began have been in the region of £200.
Examples include:
75% grants towards the cost of Youth Ministry and OCN accredited Youth Work Qualifications
£150 for a team building event for new Leaders
£600 to a Church who organised a Youth Leadership Workshop with an outside organisation for their own Church and those within their district
Bursary Grants will not be allocated to ongoing annual subscriptions/training fees, building/capital projects, university fees nor travel.
The closing date for applications is 27 July 2012. We would anticipate that all grant monies will be issued by September 2012.
Application forms can be obtained by making contact with Roisin McClenaghan on 02890 241651 or email
