Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises, and community interest companies in the UK can apply for funding for projects which support young people on the edge of the criminal justice system (aged 11-25). The Triangle Trust 1949 Fund will award grants of up to £80,000 over two years (£40,000 per year) for projects that use a Sport 4 Development approach to work with young people (11-25) who are already in contact with the police and who are at risk of being, or who have been, arrested for a crime. The aim of the funding is to help them avoid a future conviction by supporting them to change their offending behaviour. Priority will be given to proposals supporting young people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities, young women and girls, and young people who have been looked after. The deadline for applications is the 29th October 2023. Grants of up to £80,000 Available to Work with Young People at the Edge of the Criminal Justice System (UK)
