Grant Directories

Groundwork is a federation of charities working nationally and locally to transform lives in the UK’s most disadvantaged communities. Groundwork is administering the  ESFA Community Training Grants: Thames Valley Berkshire programme on behalf of the Education and Skills Funding Agency and the European Social Fund. The focus of these grants will be to fund projects which support participants who are over 16 years of age, eligible to work in the UK and either unemployed or economically inactive. Successful applicants are expected to be able to help move individuals into work, or closer to employment, by providing vocational training, advice, guidance and information.

The Berkeley Foundation is an independent registered charity established by Berkeley Group in 2011. The Foundation supports young people, their families and their communities across London, the City of Birmingham and the South of England. The Empowering young women into work programme aims to support voluntary organisations working to empower young women who are unemployed and for whom there is limited existing provision to access decent and sustainable employment. The programme will support proposals from organisations working with disadvantaged and marginalised young women aged between 16 and 30.
