South West Foundation in Partnership with the Learning Curve and the Skills Funding Agency, will shortly be opening a new grant programme for the South West. The Community Grants programme, funded by the European Social Fund and the Skills Funding Agency, is aimed at supporting voluntary and community organisations with charitable aims, to deliver projects that will help and support people furthest removed from the labour market to pick up the skills and confidence that will enable them to move toward employment. This particular programme covers all of the South West (excluding Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly – these areas are being handled by a different agency).
Grants up to £12,000 will be available although it is envisaged that most grants will be in the region of £6,000 to £8,000.
In connection with this programme the South West Foundation is holding a number of information seminars throughout the region.
This is a notification about the first sessions to be held in August and September. We will be organising seminars in Bristol and South Devon in early October and will send these details out later on.
All those organisations that would like to find out more about this programme are welcome to attend. If you would like to discuss the programme prior to signing up for the seminar please do ring the Foundation on 01275 333666.
