AM I ELIGIBLE TO APPLY FOR A GRANT?
You must be able to show that you are either
deaf or hard of hearing by securing the support
of a sponsor – this must be someone who knows
you well, and who works with you
professionally, such as a lecturer, teacher, social
worker or doctor. Your sponsor should not be a
member of your family or a friend. They will be
asked to confirm that you are deaf or have a
hearing loss.
WILL I GET THE AMOUNT I APPLY FOR?
If your application is approved, the amount of
money you might receive depends on how many
other people apply and how much money is
available from the Trust fund. The decision of
the Trustees is final.

WHO RUNS THE TRUST?
A small team of volunteers (trustees), including
members from the Deaf Community, manages a
trust fund established using donations made in
Peter Greenwood’s memory. Each year, some of the
money in the fund is given out as small grants to
people who apply to the Trust for this help. The
Fund is kept going by generous donations made by
individuals and organisations.
WHAT CAN A GRANT BE USED FOR?
A grant can be used to buy books and equipment
needed for studying or training. Sometimes a grant
is offered to help with travel or accommodation
expenses related to studies or training. A grant may
sometimes be used for other purposes related to
studying so please ask!
WHO WAS PETER GREENWOOD?
Peter was Deputy Head at Thorn Park School for
Deaf Children in Bradford.
He worked hard to improve access to education for
Deaf people, particularly those about to leave
school.
Peter was an avid football fan and tragically, he lost
his life in the fire at Bradford City’s Valley Parade
football ground in May 1985 – his two sons Rupert
and Felix also died with him.
The Peter Greenwood Memorial Trust was set up in
1986 by Peter’s widow, Hazel. The trust aims to
provide financial support for people in the deaf and
hard of hearing community through small cash
grants, helping them continue their studies in
secondary, higher or further education or in training
institutions. The Trust’s area of operation is England
and Wales.
