OVER 20 years of bursaries and we're keen to give more
Supporting service, post-covid
We in the UK have been emerging from the covid period for a while and it's been encouraging to see a rise recently in the number of applications for financial support for travel. We are keen to project the message 'open for business' so if you know of someone who is thinking about travelling to help others, please shepherd them in our direction. Of course we want everyone to be safe and secure, and we encourage everyone to consider their exposure to covid when travelling abroad. But we're hopeful that things are returning to normal!
keeping going in covid...
Even though we were in the midst of a global crisis the Timios Trust was able to give bursaries to 8 travellers and we hope to see this number grow in upcoming months. It's great to support people who are travelling with charities and organisations who we know well, but equally we love to receive applications from people who are travelling with groups we've not supported before.
'Service' is a broad term and can include a multitude of activities. If you're doing something broadly practical and will help and impact positively on the lives of others, we'd love to hear from you!
Travel Blog
So that we can publish the exciting news stories that we get sent from bursary holders whom we support financially, we have included a testimonial blog. This has got their reports and photos which document the work they have achieved all over the world. Have a read and search the archive to give you an idea of the projects which we feel able to support.
tell everyone you know about us
One of the best things about the Timios Trust is seeing the variety of projects undertaken by our amazing bursary holders. The list of places visited by people supported by Timios continues to grow but we want to help even more volunteers. So if you know of someone in your church or community who is planning a trip which we may be able to support, do encourage them to apply.
And why not consider giving a donation in order to allow us to continue supporting those who want to improve the lives of others? We rely on small and regular gifts. Unlike very large charities which by nature have high costs, we put all of the money we're given towards bursaries so you know any donation is directly funding travel bursaries. If you want to discuss a donation please free to send us an email - contact us here.
