Global Grants - Basic Facts
ss
What is it?
An easy–to–access European fund providing grants of up to £10,000 for projects from community organisations working to improve the employability of people not yet in work. Projects can focus directly on training but can range from helping build confidence and self esteem to training in specific job related areas. Co-operatives and community enterprises can also apply provided the grant is for a new venture.
Who is it for?
People facing disadvantage in the labour market. For example: disabled people, those facing literacy/numeracy difficulties and/or people with no work experience, ethnic minorities, older workers wanting to return to work or re-train, young people excluded from school, homeless people or lone parents.
Who can apply?
Local voluntary and community groups who help people towards employment. This can range from helping to build self confidence and self-esteem to training in specific job-related areas to help people become more employable and to prepare them for work. Co-operatives and community enterprises can also apply, provided the grant is required for a new venture. The fund cannot make grants to individuals.
How much can we apply for?
Grants of up to £10,000. A maximum of £1,000 is available for capital expenditure. The grants may even help with running costs provided that the grant money will increase the provision of an activity that will help people towards employment.
