Funding to Enable Disadvantaged Young People to Reach their Potential

Posted on November 13, 2015

Registered charities that work with disadvantaged children under the age of 25 can apply for funding of up to £10,000 through the Ironmongers Company’s grants programme.

In particular the company wants to support projects that provide opportunities for disadvantaged children and young people to fulfill their potential and educational activities that develop learning, motivation and skills.

Projects could, for example, support:

Special educational needs
Address behavioural problems or promote citizenship
Parenting or life skills

Preference will be given to projects piloting new approaches where the outcomes will be disseminated to a wider audience. Although the grants are available within the UK preference is given to projects in inner London. Schools that are registered as charities for young people with disabilities are also eligible to apply.

The next deadline for applications is the 31st December 2015.

For further information, please visit the Ironmongers Company website or contact CVS Falkirk and speak with Tariq or Claire on 01324 692000, alternatively you can email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
