The Rotary club of Glossop is looking for an exceptional, courageous young person to award this year’s Tom Jordan Bursary to.
Details...
Tom was an honorary member of Glossop Rotary Club and lost his life tragically young to cancer. Tom was a committed sportsman, dedicated to encouraging other young people to make the very best of their lives and talents.
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.
