Opportunity to attend a subsidised Arvon course

Grant for volunteer to attend an Arvon writing course
deadline: 1 March 2010
An anonymous writer, who has benefitted from several Arvon courses, would like to enable others to have the same experience. The donor will provide a yearly amount which will enable one person working in the voluntary sector to attend an Arvon writing course for a greatly reduced fee. To apply you must currently volunteer either full or part-time within a charity or voluntary organisation.

Send a one-page letter explaining why you want to attend an Arvon course in 2010 - along with written proof of your voluntary work - to Emma Johnson, The Arvon Foundation, Free Word Centre, 60 Farringdon Road, London, EC1R 3GA. Or email: emma.johnson@arvonfoundation.org

(NB Arvon strongly advises applicants to provisionally book a place on a course as soon as they apply, as places fill up quickly. You should inform the centre when booking that you are awaiting the outcome of this grant decision. If you are not awarded this grant, you can still apply for the general Arvon grant.
