Third sector- Why The Changing Landscape Of EU Integration Matters To You

The experience of being European in the UK is changing: and so, therefore, is the role of the third sector in attending to the needs of our communities. But are we adapting adequately to the changing needs of our population?

Do we understand the potential implications of current changes on the groups we serve?

Join New Europeans and the Brexit Civil Society Alliance on November 19th from 4.30 – 7pm at City Hall for a discussion of key issues for Europeans – and therefore, for the third sector.

We will be touching on the EU Settlement Scheme; hate crime and discrimination; and representation and community cohesion. We will also be launching the results of New Europeans’ research on the preparedness of the sector to support clients accessing the Settlement Scheme (the survey is still open until November 6th – please participate here).

We are particularly interested in inviting organisations to who do not already work in the immigration, migrant integration or advice sectors. We want to share and explore how these issues affect the third sector as a whole.

The event is free but registration is required. Book your place here.

Grants for Disabled and Disadvantaged Young People

Wooden Spoon

Equipment Grants for Disabled and Disadvantaged Young People

 

If your project is in the UK or Ireland and shares our aim of making a positive impact on the lives of children and young people through a commitment to quality charitable work, it may be eligible for a Wooden Spoon grant.

 

We ask that you review our qualifying criteria below before completing and returning an application form to projects@woodenspoon.org.uk or by post to the national office.

 

Qualifying Criteria

If a project is a physical, tangible asset of a permanent nature, the following must apply:

  • It must have a minimum predicted life span of five years (preferably ten), be non-transferable and of a permanent nature. Special consideration may be given to funding life-enhancing/medical equipment if it can be shown that the useable life of such equipment is likely to be at least five years.
  • Grants will not be considered for salaries, administration costs, professional fees and on-going overheads related to a capital project.

If a project is educational or disability sports-focused, the following must apply:

  • There must be a key rugby element to engage children and young people.
  • It must have a clearly-defined brief detailing the project’s need and objectives; stakeholders; description of participants (age, gender, geography); recruitment of participants; project activity and budget; legacy planning; monitoring and evaluation and mechanism for reporting to Wooden Spoon.
  • Grants will be considered for kit and equipment, salaries and administration costs.

Projects must: 

  • Enhance and support the lives of children and young people (under the age of 25) who are disadvantaged physically, mentally or socially.
  • Work directly with children and young people and have a positive influence on their lives as a result of the activities or service provided.
  • Benefit those located in the UK or Ireland.
  • Support a group – we cannot make grants to individuals.

 

While there is neither a minimum nor maximum grant level, it is unlikely projects of a physical nature under £5,000 in value will have sufficient substance and scale to qualify under the “projected life span” criteria. See examples of successful projects here.

How to Apply

If you think you are eligible for a Wooden Spoon grant, please download our Application Form (August 2018).

If you are unsure if your project meets our criteria please complete our Expression of Wish Form for an initial assessment.

Once completed as fully as possible, forms can be returned to projects@woodenspoon.org.uk or by post to Wooden Spoon, Sentinel House, Ancells Business Park, Harvest Crescent, Fleet GU51 2UZ.

 

Application Notes

All projects should have a clearly-defined brief detailing:

  • Need and objectives
  • Stakeholders
  • Description of participants (age, gender, geography)
  • Recruitment of participants
  • Activity
  • Budget
  • Legacy planning
  • Monitoring/evaluation
  • Mechanism for reporting to Wooden Spoon
