The Gareth Cumming Adventure Memorial Award

 

Brittle Bone Society launched this award in the name of our late Trustee, Mr Gareth Cumming.

We invited applicants from the UK and Ireland who have OI, are aged 18 or over, and want to experience something new to apply for up to £1000.

Perhaps you want to travel independently, visit a new location, meet people or learn something new ie attend a training course. Having OI may put hurdles in your way, however, Gareth would have said: ‘nothing is impossible’.

Gareth’s Memorial Award was designed to assist with overcoming some of the challenges encountered along the way. This grant is intended to offer a boost of confidence and make a positive difference on your journey. The Gareth Memorial award is intended to help you take that first step.
