2026 Scholarship Award Winners

We are incredibly proud to announce that at the WGUK: Winter Guard United Kingdom Finals 2026 on Saturday 4th April, we awarded— for the second year running—two very deserving recipients with scholarships of £1500 and £1000.

 Thea Nuttall from Liberty Winterguard, who is heading to march Colour Guard with The Spartans Drum & Bugle Corps was awarded £1500.

 Emily Edmondson from Commodores Colour Guard —also a successful 2025 applicant—who will be returning to march with The Blue Stars Drum and Bugle Corps Colour Guard, was awarded £1000.

Without your continued support, none of this would be possible. You are helping us keep Gavin’s memory alive in the most meaningful way.

We are so grateful to be able to support these incredible young performers as they follow their dreams and represent the UK on an international stage.

And what an added bonus this weekend brought… both girls were crowned WGUK Champions in their respective classes!

We are beyond proud of you both and cannot wait to follow your journeys this summer.

 Watch this space for upcoming fundraising events… we’ve got some exciting things planned!
