Revenue grants of between £5,000 and £20,000 for up to 3 years are available to UK registered charities, exempt charities, community groups and Community Interest Companies for activities that improve the effectiveness of literacy teaching in primary and secondary education for children with learning difficulties, including dyslexia.
The J J Charitable Trust’s Literacy Small Grants Scheme seeks to improve the effectiveness of literacy teaching in primary and secondary education for children with learning difficulties, including dyslexia, with a particular focus on areas of social need and those who are at risk of non-inclusion in society and the world of work.
This is a small grants scheme that funds UK charities, community groups and Community Interest Companies that directly help children and young people develop literacy skills, with a focus on supporting those with learning difficulties such as lifelong learning disorders like dyslexia.
The Trust is keen to see applications for projects that use volunteers and reading mentors and those that help during transitional points. For example, when students move from primary to secondary school, or when they transition to further education, college, or the workplace.
Applications for a revenue grant of between £5,000 and £20,000 are considered for literacy support at any primary or secondary key stage. Multi-year grants, over a maximum period of 3 years, are available.
Further information, guidance and an online application form is available on the Trust’s website.
Applicants should expect to receive a decision within eight weeks of each application deadline.
