The Norman Barnett Languages Trust Providing grants for young people studying foreign languages
The Norman Barnett Languages Trust is a local charity which was set up by the will of the late Norman Barnett. Norman was a well known trader on Dewsbury Market with a love of foreign languages.
Who can apply?
Anyone who is resident within a five mile radius of Dewsbury Town Hall who is 24 years old or under on 31 December of the year in which the grant is awarded and who has demonstrated some ability in the study of foreign languages.
When can I apply? We normally advertise for applications in the autumn. However as a result of Covid-19 we have decided to delay advertising for applications until later in the year. We write to local schools and may also advertise for applications in the local newspapers. The Trustees usually meet in February to discuss the applications they have received. What sort of activities does the Trust fund? Grants have been awarded to help young people travel abroad, to attend a course at an educational establishment (either in the UK or abroad) and to support primary schools in teaching foreign languages but any proposal which promotes the study of foreign languages will be considered. Where can I get an application form from? The 2021 Application Form will be available in Spring 2021.
