The Colyer-Fergusson Charitable Trust’s Investing in Young People grant programme seeks to support disadvantaged young people living at the margins of society; with the aim of improving their skills, building their confidence and resilience and supporting their transition into independence.
The Trust is interested to hear from organisations in Kent working with:
- disengaged, disadvantaged and/or vulnerable young people aged 14-25
- young people in or leaving care aged 14-25
- young offenders and those at risk of offending aged 14-25
- unemployed young people – aged 16-25, not in education, training or employment (NEETS)
To be eligible to apply, applicants must be:
- a registered charity, CIC, social enterprise or other properly constituted not-for-profit organisation1 with a management committee with at least three unrelated members
- working to benefit young people living in Kent. Please note Greater London boroughs, previously within Kent are not eligible
- able to provide at least two years of published financial accounts • Grants can be paid only into a UK bank account in the organisation’s name
Extra priority will be given to groups that:
- work in a particularly disadvantaged or deprived area
- have limited access to other sources of income
- clearly define the need they are addressing
- clearly demonstrate the benefit to young people
- demonstrate a commitment to service user involvement
- can demonstrate partnership working
- offer matched funding opportunities
Organisations can apply for either:
- a one-off grant of up to £30,000
- a grant of between £5,000 and £20,000 per annum, for a maximum of three years
Please note, the total grant cannot be greater than 50% of your most recent annual turnover. Funding requests to cover the core costs of an existing service should ideally unlock new opportunities or extend the service in some way.
