The Erik Sutherland Gap Year Trust

The purpose of this Scottish Charitable Trust is to make it possible for school leavers, who might not otherwise be able to finance it, the opportunity to spent a year, or part, before attending university or college to travel and do something meaningful and useful developing experiences and maturity.
