Aims/priorities: The funding is specifically aimed at smaller community organisations that have often been started to address a local and unmet need and are rooted in lived experience.
The funding is for work that is currently taking place, work that builds on something that a group is currently doing or a pilot if they want to try something new.
There is particular interest in applications that work with:
- Girls who are either outside of education or are at risk of being excluded from school
- Projects that run activities for girls who are vulnerable to becoming involved with gangs (these projects might run in evenings, weekends or through school holidays)
- Projects that provide peer mentoring providing role models to girls and young women who are in crisis and need support
- Work that goes into schools and other community settings to raise awareness of the risks to girls of exploitation and links to criminal justice outcomes.
There is particular interest in organisations working with young women and girls who are care-experienced, neurodiverse, outside education or close to exclusion, have known involvement in gangs or county lines or are from Black or minoritised/racialised communities.
Who can apply? Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and Community Interest Companies (CICs) working within the UK, with a UK office, may apply.
Social enterprise and community interest companies must have a governing document which shows their name, aim/purpose, objects of the group, including a dissolution clause - what happens if their group ceases to function.
