The Community Investment Gateway has a new funding opportunity.
Grants are available to fund the work of VCSE organisations who support seldom heard groups - underrepresented adults who are less likely to be heard by practitioners or decision makers at services, or face barriers to accessing support.
These grants are funded by The Wakefield and District Safeguarding Adults Board (WDSAB). WDSAB is a multiagency partnership responsible for ensuring that adults at risk of abuse and/or neglect are supported, listened to, engaged and empowered to live safe and well lives. One of the Board's priorities is to establish a grants scheme to support projects and organisations working with seldom heard groups, and funding is being channelled through the Gateway.
These small grants are designed to be used flexibly and you can apply for funding to:
Examples of seldom heard groups are:
This funding is for organisations who are Tier 3 members of the Community Investment Gateway, who are already working with or supporting one or more ‘seldom heard’ groups.
If your organisation is not a member and your annual income is below £25,000, get in touch with gateway@nova-wd.org.uk to find out how to join.
Join the online Information Session on Wednesday 14 January (1pm to 2pm) to hear more about the funding and ask any questions. Email gateway@nova-wd.org.uk to book.
Visit the Community Investment Gateway website for more details and to download the Information Pack.
Grants are available for small to medium-sized charities registered and working in the UK that defend human rights and promote respect for vulnerable individuals.
Funding is available to VCSE organisations to explore ideas to improve health, wellbeing, or community services through research - with interest in exploring the intersection of mental health & health inequalities.
Grant funding of up to £10,250 is available for eligible community and voluntary organisations to set up and deliver the DofE, as well as the enrolment costs for young people taking part.
