Grants up to £5,000 for charities working with people to develop skills ready for employment for people aged 11 years and upwards including literacy, numeracy and digital skills.

Grants of up to £5,000 are available for specific projects or core activities that support literacy, numeracy, digital and additional skills for learning that are likely to assist the employment prospects of people aged 11 years and older. The funding will support a project or running costs for a charity that equips people (aged 11 and over) with the skills ready for employment. Priority will be given to:

• Match funded projects.
• Charities that can provide compelling evidence of impact.
• Charities working with collaborative networks.
• Self-sustainable projects, with a view to becoming less reliant on grants in the future.

Applications will be considered from UK charities that have been registered with the Charity Commission for at least three years and have an annual turnover that does not exceed £500,000. Priority will be given to charities working with collaborative networks. Applications are currently being accepted for funds to be awarded in November 2020.
