York St John University are inviting proposals from voluntary, charity and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to our Community Research Grant programme.
The programme provides funding for York St John University academics to work with VCSE organisations within Yorkshire and Humberside. Through this process, they aim to work together to produce research that is co-designed, relevant and impactful.
By research, we mean the generating of new knowledge or understanding about the world. This might include generating evidence about impact, reviewing best-practice, engaging with participants/stakeholders, co-designing new activities, mapping case studies, conducting organisations reviews and more.
In the first stage of the process, proposals are invited from VCSE organisations for research that would be meaningful and impactful for them. The Institute for Social Justice will then select a number of these proposals and 'match' them with University-based researchers, who will be funded to work in partnership to undertake the research.
Grants are available to not-for-profit organisation to run autistic-specific activity programmes that run in the school holidays in the UK, including sessions for siblings.

Grants available for UK-based Charities/Charitable Incorporated Organisations (CIOs) working with vulnerable children and young adults, especially those at risk of sexual and other forms of exploitation.
