Planning a school residential just got easier! At Sandwell Residential Education Service, we understand that funding can be one of the biggest challenges when organising a trip. That’s why we’re excited to announce the launch of our brand-new Funding Support page - created specifically to help teachers like you access the financial support needed to make residentials a reality for every pupil.
WHAT'S ON THE PAGE?
Our new page is a one-stop hub for funding opportunities and guidance, featuring:
1. A curated list of grant providers
2. Links to trusts and foundations that support outdoor learning, arts experiences, residentials and enrichment.
3. Tips for writing successful funding applications
4. Ideas for school-based fundraising initiatives.
Whether you're looking to subsidise costs for pupils or fund an entire residential, this page is packed with practical tools and information.
WHY THIS MATTERS
Residentials are more than just a trip - they’re a chance for students to grow in confidence, build friendships, and experience learning in a whole new way. But we know that financial barriers can stand in the way.
This new resource is designed to help you overcome those barriers and ensure every child has the chance to take part.
READY TO EXPLORE?

We want to help remove finance as a barrier to success.
Bookmark it, share it with your colleagues, and start planning your next unforgettable residential experience - with the funding support you need.
