Aims/priorities: The Trust holds two grants rounds per year:
- The Spring round is for proposals wanting to work with young people who already have a criminal conviction.
- The Autumn round is for proposals focused on targeted work with high-risk young people on the edge of the criminal justice system.
The 2024 rounds will focus on funding for organisations working with vulnerable young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system or who are at a high risk of entering it. Applicants must demonstrate significant expertise working with vulnerable and challenging young women and girls.
Who can apply? Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and community interest companies that are working within the UK and have a UK office are eligible to apply.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Have previous experience of working with vulnerable young women or girls either on the edge of the criminal justice system or who already have criminal convictions.
- Be requesting funding for a project working exclusively with young women and girls.
- Work solely with women and girls.
- Have a proven track record of running projects working with young women and girls that is both gender and trauma informed.
- Be proposing a project with targets that are specifically linked to either reducing the number of young women or girls who reoffend or reduce the number of young women and girls who receive a first conviction.
- Have an average annual income over the past three years of less than £1.5 million.
- Be a registered charity or an organisation set up with a clear social purpose and appropriate governing documents stating this.
Social enterprise and community interest companies must have a governing document which shows the name, aim/purpose, objects of the group, including a dissolution clause. This clause should show that the organisation is a not-for-profit group by confirming that any assets remaining after all debts are paid will be given to another voluntary group with similar aims. This document should also include details of the organisation's Trustees or management committee.
The Trust particularly welcomes applications from organisations working in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Grant amount: Up to £80,000 over two years are available.
A maximum of £40,000 can be requested per year.
