Duchy Health Charity Awards

Mary Grigg was a much loved and dedicated Duchy Health Charity Trustee who sadly passed away in 2018.

In her honour, this award of £500 is aimed at providing support to an individual who may need some additional financial assistance to enable them to maintain their studies.  This could be due to significant changes in circumstances, health and wellbeing related, or the need for equipment or learning resources.  Examples of this could be an impact on family circumstances due to job loss; extra travel expenses; or needing to attend an extra specialist course.
