The Bursary is £500 and must be used for something that you really want to do and will make a big difference to your life.

To be eligible to apply you need to live in High Peak, Stockport or Tameside and be under the age of 21 at the time you submit your application. You need to tell us all about yourself and your experiences. If it would feel better you may ask someone that you trust to submit your application for you, it can be easier than writing about yourself sometimes.

More details and an application form can be found at www.glossoprotary.co.uk or by emailing: karenrigg572@aol.com
