About Henley Educational Trust

Henley Educational Trust provides local educational support for families and organisations in the Henley Area. Established in 1604, the Trust is deeply rooted in the Henley community, serving specific parishes. Its mission is to advance equal educational opportunity for children and young people, with a focus on fairness and practical support. The Trust awards grants to both individuals and organisations, funding activities that have an educational outcome, including physical, intellectual, emotional and social development, as well as sports education.

What Henley Educational Trust funds

The Trust funds education-focused activities for young people under 25, including music tuition, playgroup fees, homework clubs, sports club fees, school uniform, and gap year educational electives. Organisational grants support local schools, community groups, and registered charities for projects with an educational outcome, such as those run by Henley Youth Festival, Brownies, Rod Eyot Boat Club, Henley Cricket Club, St John's Ambulance, and the Nomad Henley Partnership of Schools. All grants must be for educational use, which includes sports education. The Trust serves the Henley Area, specifically the parishes of Henley North, Henley South, Bix, Remenham, and Rotherfield Greys.
