Grant Directories

The Manchester Arena Memorial Grant programme has been launched to highlight the good that can come from different communities working together in friendship. Grants of between £200 and £1000 are available for projects held in the Greater Manchester Area from April – June 2019, which include children and young people (11-25 years old) from more than one faith and show how the project will promote learning about faiths. Projects should involve young people in planning, running, and evaluating and promote equal opportunities.

The Spark Awards provide grants of up to £15,000 for programmes of public engagement that inspire and involve target audiences with science and technology. Activities must focus on astronomy, solar and planetary science, particle physics, particle astrophysics, cosmology, nuclear physics or accelerator science. Well-planned proposals for novel or innovative approaches towards engagement are welcomed. Grant funded researchers, STFC scientists and engineers, facility users, schools, museums, science communicators and amateur astronomy groups are all eligible to apply.
