Grants to Support Disadvantaged Children (UK)
Not for profit organisations that are working with children and young people can apply for grants of up to £10,000 per year for up to 3 years.
Grants are given to support children and young people aged 18 years and under experiencing disadvantage through:
- Illness, distress, abuse or neglect.
- Any kind of disability.
- Behavioural or psychological difficulties.
- Living in poverty or situations of deprivation.
The funding is available to:
- Charitable incorporated organisations and Scottish charitable incorporated organisations;
- Community interest companies (CIC) limited by guarantee;
- Companies limited by guarantee with a clause in their governing document preventing distribution of profit (including social enterprises);
- Housing associations;
- Industrial and provident community benefit societies;
- Registered charities;
- Religious institutions;
- Special schools - These are provisions for children with learning difficulties or disabilities which cannot be met within a mainstream setting
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the fund has temporarily broadened the types of applications it accepts. BBC Children in Need is currently offering funding that can be used more flexibly than usual. This can include:
- Project delivery (Including staffing and salary costs)
- Creative solutions to deliver much needed services
- Organisational costs to support stability and adaptation. (Including the day-to-day running costs of an organisation as opposed to specific project costs)
The closing date for applications is 11.30 am on the 6th October 2021.
