How YWU supports the sector
Funding
We are all too aware of the difficulties faced by all providers of youth work in these difficult times with rising costs to provide and increasing demand on services continue. Funding becomes even more vital we aim to provide access to funding opportunities from small one of grants to long-term multiple year funding.
Access Without Limits community funding is now open for applications. Grant funding of up to £10,250 is available for eligible community and voluntary organisations to run the DofE and covers the enrolment costs for young people taking part. Not only offering grant funding but supports organisations every step of the way.
Open until December 2024
The fund will see £1.5 million for approximately 7,500 young people aged 11-18 and up to age 25 for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) who are experiencing hardship or are otherwise vulnerable and are therefore underrepresented in the sector.
Deadline Wednesday 18th October
This programme will support collaborations led by small charities seeking to influence and achieve local or regional change around improving the social security system, improving access to suitable accommodation, and support for asylum seekers and refugees. Collaborations can apply for grants of £100,000 over two years.
No deadline.
