Mountain Training England Skills and Leadership Fund

This fund supports individuals who are People of Colour who face barriers to participation and are therefore significantly under-represented and less engaged with all Mountain Training qualifications, and skills courses.

Empowering more independent walkers and climbers from these groups into leadership roles is in line with our vision: 

“To promote a diverse and active outdoor society, supported by inspirational leaders, instructors and coaches. Inspiring more diverse participants to lead, coach and role model.” 

The aim of the fund is to help people who are in need of support to gain skills and qualification training and assessment by contributing to course costs.

1. Applications are accepted from individuals who are People of Colour
   
   
2. This support is only available for people who are in financial need and otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford to access our courses. Applicants are asked to sign a Declaration of Need (included in the application form)
   
   
3. Applicants must live in England
   
   
4. Applicants must have a Mountain Training login on Tahdah (free to create)

Please note: Group leaders, course providers etc may apply on behalf of another individual or a group so long as they are named individuals and meet all the above eligibility criteria.
