Funding Competition to Encourage Young People into Aviation (UK)

Not-for-profit organisations and charities are invited to apply for a share of £750,000 in funding to deliver outreach programmes and events to encourage young people to consider an aviation career.

The Reach for the Sky Challenge Fund 2024, delivered in partnership with the Department for Transport and the Civil Aviation Authority, will fund initiatives that educate young people from all backgrounds on the opportunities on offer in aviation.

The aim is to break down barriers, providing an entry point for people who are from underprivileged backgrounds or under-represented groups, including women and girls, people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities, and those from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

Projects must be focused mainly on England, possibly delivering across the UK.

The closing date for applications is the 27th September 2024.
