UK charities and charitable incorporated organisations (CIOs) are invited to apply for grants to support initiatives that help young offenders, ex-offenders, and other disadvantaged young people secure pathways to meaningful employment and community engagement. In some cases, applications from community interest companies (CICs) may also be considered. The programme offers two funding streams: small grants of up to £5,000 and main grants with no formal upper limit, although typical awards are generally between £10,000 and £15,000. The funding is being made available through the Worshipful Company of Weavers Charitable Grants Programme. The next application deadline is 12 March 2026.
