Community Grants
Grants of up to £12,000 are now available for voluntary and community organisations in Yorkshire and the Humber who provide learning opportunities that help unemployed people aged 18+ move closer towards a job or training.
Community Grants are targeted at the following priority groups:
- People with disabilities and health conditions
- Lone parents
- People aged 50 and over
- People from ethnic minorities
Community Grants activities could include:
- Initial help with Basic Skills
- Taster work experience (including voluntary work)
- Training advice and guidance
- Job search assistance
- Confidence building and personal development
- Debt counselling
The application process has been simplified because we are especially keen to see small voluntary organisations applying for Community Grants.
However, they must also meet the small criteria to be eligible:
- 1-9 full time equivalent employees
- Annual turnover of £300,000 or less
- Organisations must have a constitution and a bank account in their organisation's name
Organisations currently in direct receipt of European Social Funding from a co-finance organisation (e.g. LSC, DWP) or who have received direct European Social Funding from a co-finance organisation in the previous three years (excluding Global Grants) are not eligible for a Community Grant unless they can show that their organisational capacity has reduced significantly affecting their ability to bid for Mainstream funding.
Must not duplicate provision already funded through existing Learning Skills Council or Department of Work and Pensions mainstream provision or European Social Funding Co-financing.
The Community Grants programme is part funded by the European Union through the European Social Fund and is co-financed by the Learning and Skills Council.
Funds are also available for capacity building within organisations.
