How you can get involved

The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust have given me this opportunity of a lifetime to travel and broaden my experience and at the same time to work on a project that will benefit the UK. Any British citizen can apply and enter one of the categories and it's such a simple process.

Visit http://www.wcmt.org.uk/ and see what categories you could enter. Create a short proposal - only a paragraph required - and get 2 references. If you get shortlisted you attend a panel interview and if selected - Bob's your Uncle (or Auntie!) you are on your way.

You can travel for up to 3 months or a minimum of 4 weeks and there is a very generous grant available. It really is so simple - so many people seem to think they cannot possibly do it when all it takes is an idea - and you can enter and get the chance to travel anywhere in the world. Just log on and get started!
