» Concorde Travel Fund

The Concorde Fund was established to help young Irish Presbyterians travel, for short term service into overseas situations (so that they might learn from and contribute to the life of the wider church) and to receive young people from overseas.

Grants will normally be available to finance travel either wholly or in part for the following:

 - Those representing the Board of Youth and Children's Ministry at Conferences

- Young people aged 18-25 year olds who want to go on short term service overseas.

» Please Note

- This fund is not available for university or college electives.

- You can only receive this grant once.

- Team applications can only be regarded as one application and not individually.

- Applicants are required to attend a short interview in Church House.

Travel grants for Summer Service must be submitted by 1st March in any year.  Travel grants for service at other times of the year should be submitted 3 months in advance of proposed date of travel.
