New Grants Scheme for Youth Work

Posted on July 17, 2015

The Paul Hamlyn Foundation (PHF) has a grant fund of £25m a year until 2021 and £4m a year has been set aside for projects focused on helping marginalised young people.

Youth work organisations can apply to two new funds: a Youth Fund and a Growth Fund. The Youth Fund will provide grants of between £10,000 and £60,000 to go towards core operating costs.
Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and up to 30 awards a year will be granted through this fund.

The Growth Fund will provide funding and support to help organisations identify and implement practical steps to growth. It will be launched later this year and applications will be by invitation only.
For further information please visit: the PHF website or call CVS Falkirk and speak with Tariq or Claire for funding and capacity building support on 01324 692000, alternatively you can email: info@cvsfalkirk.org.uk
