Your support keeps us going
At Cobnor Activities Centre Trust, our mission is to help, support and educate young people across West Sussex and surrounding areas. Through outdoor and residential activities, we aim to foster their physical, mental, and emotional development, helping them grow into confident, capable, and well-rounded individuals.
As a non-profit, we rely on both grants and generous donations from individuals. Your contributions help sustain our mission and support the valuable work we do as a local children’s charity. Consider donating to our unrestricted funding pot, or to one of our specific activity funds, which you can see below!
Martin Beale bursary fund
The Martin Beale Bursary Fund honours Martin Beale’s lifelong passion for helping young people enjoy the water and outdoors. His legacy lives on by removing financial barriers so that every child, regardless of circumstance, can access life-changing experiences. Our programmes help young people build confidence, resilience and essential life skills such as teamwork and communication, transferable skills vital for success in school, work and everyday life.
This fund offers partial subsidies to help young people access our activities. Priority will be given to schools and young people within a 20-mile radius, though applications from all are warmly welcomed.
Why donate?
Your donation helps break down financial barriers so more young people can access the water and outdoors. Through the Martin Beale Bursary Fund, you’re giving children the chance to build confidence, resilience, and vital life skills like teamwork and communication—experiences that can shape their future.
Every contribution goes towards making these opportunities possible for those who might otherwise miss out, creating lasting impact in their lives and communities.
Where does the donation go?
100% of the donation goes to offering discounted visits to young people.
How much do you discount?
We offer up to 80% off our activities.
How do you choose who receives the bursary?
Parents, careers or teachers will submit a bursary request form. This outlines why they think the bursary would benefit their child/children. Our management team then review all applications.
