Research has shown that the school holidays can be pressure points for some families. For some children, that can lead to a holiday experience gap. Children from low-income households are more likely to experience food insecurity and social isolation, miss out on physical activity and enriching experiences, and fall behind in development and well-being. 

Aims/priorities: The Cash for Kids Impact Grant supports community groups, schools and charities working with children and young people affected by and living with disadvantage.

Who can apply? Applications are accepted from registered charities (with an annual turnover less than £1 million), schools, community organisations and other grassroots groups based across the UK.
