The charities grant programme aims to support people with an emphasis on building confidence, knowledge and skills, and therefore increasing prospects of employment.

We offer grants up to £5,000 towards specific projects or core activities that support literacy, numeracy, digital and additional skills for learning that are likely to assist employment prospects. The Trust recognises that the future of the labour market will become increasingly competitive, with employers placing greater emphasis on transferable skills.

We will fund:

A UK charity that has been registered with the Charity Commission for at least 3 years
A project or running costs for a charity that equips people (aged 11 and over) with the skills ready for employment
Annual repeat funding for up to 3 years – subject to satisfactory annual reviews of progress and impact
The charity’s annual turnover does not exceed £500,000

We prioritise

Match funded projects
Charities that can provide compelling evidence of impact
Charities working with collaborative networks
Self-sustainable projects, with a view to becoming less reliant on grants in the future
