The new DCHS Discretionary Hardship Fund will support individual students to take part in off site activities and trips that they would otherwise be unable to attend. This will provide inclusive opportunities for young people.

Our recent Cost of Living survey highlighted that many families have concerns about the cost of trips, particularly as transport costs continue to rise. Working closely with school, the Duchess's High School Trust Discretionary Hardship Fund will support individuals to take part in trips and activities, giving more young people access to additional experiences that will have a positive impact on their learning and personal development.

Since launching in January 2023, we have supported 29 students to access experiences that otherwise would not have been possible. Please dig deep and help us to continue this support into 2024.

Please note - the costs we have provided are for guidance only. These are some of the trips we have recently supported. Cost of trips changes frequently depending on fuel costs and activity costs. Any amount you can donate will make a difference.
