Funding to Enable Disadvantaged


Young People Reach their Potential 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.

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. The deadline for applications is 31st August 2013.

Holiday Grants for Children


The Henry Smith’s Charity has announced that its Holiday Grant for Children Programme has re-opened for applications. Schools, youth groups and not for profit organisations can apply for grants towards holidays or outings within the UK for children aged 13 and under who are from deprived areas or have a disability. Applications can be considered for holidays or outings that have the objective of providing children with a break they would not otherwise have the opportunity to experience. The maximum grant is usually £2,500 for any one trip. Grants are normally limited to a maximum of two-thirds of the total cost of a trip as the charity would expect some local partnership funding to be in place. Applications can be submitted at any time. For more information visit: http://www.henrysmithcharity.org.uk/holiday-grants-for- children.html
