A new phase of the ESF Community Grants programme is now open for applications, with the first deadline coming soon at 1pm on Monday, 7 April. The programme is all about funding small organisations to develop the skills and employability of people who are currently unemployed. Applications are welcome from smaller organisations for work with disadvantaged people living in Hampshire, Portsmouth, the Isle of Wight or Southampton.
Organisations can apply for up to £15,000, with priority given towards work
with these groups of people: lone parents, women, people with health or
disability issues, people aged 50 or above, and people from diverse communities
(including ethnic minorities).
Please see the Community Action Hampshire (CAH) website for full
details:
CAH are also running several pre-application workshops if you are considering an application. Each session will include an explanation of the detailed monitoring requirements, an outline of some successful projects from previous programmes, and an opportunity to ask questions about your application. The
