Registered charities can apply to the Thomas Wall Trust for grants towards projects or running costs of activities that support people with skills ready for employment.
The trust provides grants up to £5,000 towards specific projects or core activities that support critical communication skills that are likely to assist employment prospects. The trust recognises that the future of the labour market will become increasingly competitive, with employers placing greater emphasis on transferable skills.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- be a UK charity that has been registered with the Charity Commission for at least three years.
- have an annual turnover of between £10,000 and £500,000.
The funding will support a project or running costs for a charity that equips disadvantaged people (aged 18 and over) with the communication skills ready for employment.
Priority will be given to:
- Match funded projects
- Charities that can provide compelling evidence of impact
- Charities working with collaborative networks
- Self-sustainable projects, with a view to becoming less reliant on grants in the future
Proposals are particularly welcome which target people experiencing multiple deprivation or other groups demonstrably facing major hurdles to employment, such as women, people with physical, mental, or learning disabilities, refugees and asylum seekers.
Focus of fund/fund aims:
Grants of £5,000 are available for UK registered charities for specific projects or core activities that equip disadvantaged people aged 18 and over with the necessary communication skills for employment.
Application deadline:
The next deadline is 19 September 2022
