Community Grant Programme Opens Voluntary and Community Sector Organisations in the South West Region (excluding Cornwall) are set to benefit from a grant programme of over £600,000 aimed at moving people who are furthest removed from the labour market toward employment.
South West Foundation in partnership with the Learning Curve have opened the Community Grant Programme, which is funded by the Skills Funding Agency and the European Social Fund, on Monday 17th October 2011. The main focus of the programme is to award grants up to £12,000 to enable small Third Sector Organisations that have difficulty in accessing mainstream European Social Fund Monies and Skills Funding Agency money, to put on activities and training that offer new skills and confidence building to the long term unemployed or economically inactive.
Activities funded in previous programmes have included training for disabled people, courses for women, arts activities which help to build skills and confidence, a project for learning disabled people who had the opportunity to pick up horticultural skills though working on an allotment project and active participatory music therapy for people recovering from mental health issues.
The grant programme will remain open for 6 weeks and will close at 5:00pm on Monday 28thNovember. If organisations would like to find out more about this programme or to receive an application pack please contact South West Foundation on 01275 333666 or e-mail to [email protected]
