Aims/Priorities: The aim of the Fund is to provide school children (up to Year 11) with improved access to summer holiday activity and food schemes. The programme will support organisations who already provide food and holiday activities to increase access and reach. It will also support organisations that currently do not provide such services but feel well-placed to deliver a summer food and activity scheme.
Who can apply? Nourish the Nation welcomes applications from Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector community groups based in any of the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. Please note, for this programme, only formally registered organisations can apply.
Applicant organisations must be based in one of the ten boroughs in Greater Manchester and have an annual income of less than £500,000. Due to an expected high volume of applications, we will further prioritise those organisations with lower incomes and aim to achieve a broad geographical spread against areas of need.
Grant Amount: Up to £10,000
Application Process: There will be two informal zoom sessions about the type of groups we can fund, the application process, and all supporting documentation required.
- Wednesday 9th April 2025: 10am – 11am
