Fund a Student Volunteer Trip through the Turing Scheme

Partner with The Nasio Trust to offer your students a life-changing experience in Kenya, funded by the UK Government.

What is the Turing Scheme?

The Turing Scheme is the UK Government’s global mobility programme that funds international experiences for students. It offers grants to schools, colleges, and universities so young people can take part in short-term educational placements abroad. The scheme covers travel, living costs, accommodation, and provides additional support for disadvantaged students.

Placements usually last between 10 days and 3 weeks and must have clear educational and developmental outcomes.

With The Nasio Trust, your students can use this funding to volunteer in rural Kenya, taking part in safe, structured projects that build global awareness and real-world skills. We’ll work with you to design a trip that meets these requirements while ensuring it is safe, structured, and impactful.

This means your pupils can experience an unforgettable volunteering trip in rural Kenya with The Nasio Trust, without the financial barriers that often prevent participation.

Proven Success

In 2024, we helped an Oxfordshire school secure £42,000 of Turing funding for a two-week trip to Kenya. We supported their application from start to finish—and we’ll do the same for you.

Planning ahead is key to a successful application. Here’s what the journey looks like:

  • Sept–Oct: Introductory calls with interested schools and universities
  • Oct Half-Term: Confirm interest and begin project planning
  • Jan: Finalise and co-draft your Turing application with our team
  • Feb: Application submitted
  • May–June: Funding decisions announced
  • Following 12 months: Approved trips take place

We encourage schools and universities to get in touch early so we can tailor the programme and prepare the strongest possible application.
