Grants of up to £5,000 are available for UK registered charities for specific projects that improve communication skills for disadvantaged adults and supports NEET people into employment.
The Trust views communication skills as critical capabilities for people who want to improve their employment prospects, self-confidence, resilience, and life chances.
The funding is for registered UK registered charities with an annual turnover of between £25,000 and £500,000 that are working to develop communication skills for people from disadvantaged groups who want to improve their employment prospects. Beneficiaries must gain at least one accredited vocational qualification during delivery.
Proposals are welcome which target people experiencing multiple deprivation or other groups demonstrably facing major hurdles to employment, especially women, people with physical, mental, or learning disabilities, and refugees.
Priority will be given to match funded projects and self-sustainable projects, with a view to becoming less reliant on grants in the future.
Grants cannot be used for capital costs.
There is a two-stage application process. The deadline for stage one applications is 22 September 2025 for consideration in November 2025.
This new fund for groups who distribute food and other essential items for disadvantaged members of the local community will open on 15 July and will be open for 2 weeks.
Unrestricted grants are available to enable small charities in the UK to grow, strengthen or become more efficient or resilient, with particular interest in grassroots organisations working with underserved communities.
Small grants are available for local projects, activities and organisations that have charitable aims and that will be of real direct benefit to families.
