The Department for Science, Innovation & Technology are looking to support eligible stakeholders across England, providing a range of individual grants to fund locally delivered, highly tailored and targeted interventions that meet the needs of digitally excluded people.
Applications can only be submitted by charities.
The total amount available is £7.242mn which is comprised of three types of funding:
Applicants will need to specify at least one category of funding they are requesting. They must also specify the amount being requested. Applicants can apply for a mix of funding from categories 1 and 3, or 2 and 3. However, applicants cannot submit an application that requests a mix of funding categories 1 and 2. This is because category 2 funding requests must meet the R&D criteria to produce ‘new knowledge’ while category 1 is focused on replicating and scaling best practice.
All applicants can apply for grants of £25,000 to £500,000 regardless of the organisation, category of funding, or region of England. All applicants should make clear the amount of funding being requested and how it will be spent.
Eligible charities and research organisations must:
Funding for VCSE services that help young people speak up, make informed choices, and secure their rights - focusing on those with experience of the care system, are LGBT+ or have a learning disability/neurodivergence.
Grants are available for charities, community groups, and other not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects with a positive impact for communities along the East Coast mainline route.
Grants are available for not-for-profit organisations to deliver projects and activities that support LGBT+ young people’s needs as they grow into adulthood.
