The EMR Building Brighter Futures programme, run by Cheshire Community Foundation, supports charities (annual income under £500,000) in targeted areas across the UK, who are delivering projects for young people in the following areas:
- Positive Relationships
- Health and Wellbeing
- Careers and Education
This programme will fund projects for young people between 11-19, or up to 25 for young people with additional needs. Funded work will focus on work which:
- Improves young people’s aspirations, self-confidence, and ambitions for the future.
- Projects that improve relationships, helping young people to develop the right network around them
- Projects that support Health and Wellbeing, both physically and mentally.
- Projects that support Careers and Education – that open doors for young people and help them to build important new skills; achieve their full potential in education or move into a job or start work-related training.
Funded projects will be delivered within a 5-mile, or 10-mile if specifically stated, radius of a specific EMR Yards. In Kent, these are:
-
Ashford – TN23 1EL
-
Rochester – ME2 4D
The typical grant size will be between £8,000 and £10,000, and applicants can apply for up to £20,000; however, the panel may consider funding up to £40,000 for especially strong projects which evidence a clear need and intervention.
Deadline: Sunday 12 January 2025
