Grants of up to £15,000 Available for Projects that Help Disadvantaged Young People

Registered charities operating in areas in which Hays Travel operates can apply for grants from the Hays Travel Foundation. The Foundation offers funding between £2,000 and £15,000, aiming to support projects that help disadvantaged young people aged up to 25 years in the areas of education, poverty prevention, health, arts, culture, or sports.

Charities not located in Hays Travel areas must provide evidence of how their project impacts a community with a Hays Travel branch. The Foundation encourages applicants to demonstrate match funding, as this increases the likelihood of securing a grant.

Applications for the next round of Foundation funding are currently open. Interested charities can apply online through the Hays Travel Foundation website. For local good causes, individuals or organisations are encouraged to approach their nearest Hays Travel branch directly to discuss potential support.

In addition to the Foundation’s grants, each Hays Travel branch has a yearly budget for local good causes, allowing them to support fundraising activities or worthy causes in their communities. This broadens the company’s community impact beyond youth-focused projects.

Since its establishment in 2015, the Foundation has awarded more than £1 million in grant donations.

The next closing date for applications is the 28th September 2025.
