ABERYSTWYTH KRONBERG TWINNING (AKT)

GRANTS FOR VISITS TO KRONBERG

AKT exists to promote links between Kronberg & Aberystwyth and will donate money to help individuals and groups wanting to travel to Kronberg. When considering applications for financial assistance, AKT will take into account the following:

  • For children, financial assistance cannot be greater than 50% of the cost of any trip or exchange.
  • For adults, financial assistance cannot be greater than 25% of the cost of any trip or exchange
  • Financial assistance must be sought before the visit takes place. AKT will not give any financial assistance retrospectively.
  • Financial assistance can be given in different ways:
    1. A sum of money given to the individual/group worked out as a percentage of the total cost.
    2. A sum of money given to the individual/group to purchase a specific item, e.g. the cost of a coach to an airport.
  • Requests for financial assistance will normally be dealt with at AKT Business meetings.
  • Urgent requests can be dealt with by AKT Officers between scheduled meetings.
  • All requests for financial assistance must be made using the official request form. All information requested must be attached to the form when the application is made.
  • Financial assistance will be given as either:
    1. A cheque which must be paid into the bank account of the individual requesting assistance or the organisation requesting assistance, or
    2. An invoice (e.g. for a coach trip) which the AKT treasurer will pay direct.
  • After the visit, the individual/organisation has to submit a report about the visit.
  • Should the visit not take place for any reason, AKT will require the whole of the donation to be returned to the AKT treasurer.
