Revenue grants of up to £5,000 are available to UK registered charities that are developing communication skills for disadvantaged adults aged 18 and over so that they can improve their employment prospects, self-confidence, resilience and life-chances.
Applications from charities working with marginalised and disadvantaged groups, such as asylum seekers, refugees, women and people with learning, mental or physical disabilities are welcomed.
Grants of up to £5,000 are available for a period of up to 3 years. Projects that have matched funding in place are likely to be prioritised. Applying charities must have an annual turnover of less than £500,000.
Grants can be used for project or running costs.
The Trust operates a two-stage application process for its Charities Grant programme, as follows:
1. Stage 1 is to complete an Expression of Interest form which requires some basic contact information and a short description of what the applicant requires the funding for.
2. Stage 2 is by invitation only and involves completing a more detailed application form.
Further information, guidance and the Expression of Interest form (registration is required) can be found on the Trust’s website.
