Chris Bendon passed away on 5th January 2017.  After a career in education that spanned over 30 years, the aidgambiaTCHC Trustees wanted to mark the anniversary of Chris’ death with this initiative – one that he certainly would have endorsed.

The Bendon Bursary  is an annual award aimed at supporting the continuing professional development of those working in a health-related context. Anyone who is registered on a course of study will be able to apply for a financial contribution towards their course fees on an annual basis depending on successful completion of each year of study.

Trustees hope that The Bendon Bursary will help to encourage those committed to working in health care environment and believe that this initiative is a very practical way to assist those who seek to improve their professional qualifications in a health-related field.

​

Applicants are advised to complete an application form (here) and send it to aidgambiatchc@gmail.com with proof of registration for their course of study. It is desirable that decisions are made in time for the start of the academic year.
