In Autumn 2025, in addition to the Trust’s Main Grant Fund, the Trust is offering small grants of £10,000 to support grassroots organisations with an annual income of £50,000 or less.
The grants are for smaller community organisations that are led by women and whose beneficiaries are 100% women and girls for work that is taking place with young women and girls aged between 11 and 30 who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of entering it.
The funding is for work that is currently taking place, work that builds on something that a group is currently doing or a pilot if they want to try something new.

The funding can be used towards salaries, activity costs and venue hire costs.
Groups are encouraged to submit an application early as applications may close before the deadline.

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.
