Programme Opens to Support Young Women and Girls in Criminal Justice System
/The Triangle Trust 1949 Fund is an independent grant-making trust that operates across the UK.
The Trust holds two grants rounds per year, Spring and Autumn. For the 2026 rounds, the funding priorities are:
Spring - helping young women and girls (aged 11-18) involved in county lines and gangs; those who are care experienced; and those who are either outside of education or at risk of school exclusion.
Autumn - supporting young women (aged 17-30) already in contact with the criminal justice system who need holistic support to help them move away from offending; pre-release and through the gate support for young women to meet their immediate needs; and support for mothers prior to and after serving a custodial sentence.
Grants of between £50,000 and £100,000 are available for a duration of 18 months to three years. A maximum of £50,000 per year can be requested, and the amount of funding must be proportional to the project being undertaken.
Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and community interest companies that are working within the UK and have a UK office can apply. Only organisations exclusively led by and for women and girls are eligible to apply, or be able to demonstrate that they are 'issue experts' working on one of the funding priorities.
The closing date for expressions of interest for the Spring 2026 application window ('Young Woman and Girls Aged 11-18') is 21 May 2026. For more information, please visit The Triangle Trust
