Quantick Bursary Fund

Story

The aim of the Quantick Bursary fund is to provide discounted places for disadvantaged children and young people to come to Heatree who might otherwise not have the opportunity to do so. We want all young people to benefit from an enriching experience in the outdoors and learn more about the Christian faith in an engaging and accessible way.

In 1955 Miss Elizabeth Quantick bought Heathercombe Brake and shortly after she officially started Heathercombe Brake Trust (the charity which governs Heatree Activity Centre). The Trust ran a boys’ school at Heatree House and a girls’ school in Teignmouth. The school closed in 1989 and Miss Quantick passed away in 1995. The bursary is named after her in honour of her incredible work.
