Cumbria Youth Alliance March 2023 Funding Gazette by cumbriayouthalliance

Welcome to our March Funding Gazette

CYA would like to acknowledge a wide range of sources of information. We regularly look at funding information from NAVCA, Active Cumbria, NCVO, Merseyside Funding Portal, Get Grants and Focus on Funding from Cumbria CVS. CVS will do a search for funding for your specific project via Grantfinder. Contact: cvsfunding@cumbriacvs.org.uk

There are significant opportunities to apply for grants and trusts but now more than ever the competition is stiff and you need to take time to read the guidelines carefully for each of the charitable trusts and foundations and only apply to those where you do meet the criteria.

Funders tell us that over 30% of the applications they receive don’t meet their criteria and they waste time reading through them and rejecting them but more importantly the organisations have wasted their time compiling the application and the supporting documents only for them to be consigned to the bin.

We can assist by being a second pair of eyes to read through your applications before you send them away and we can be a referee for your application if we have worked together and we are aware of your work.

DORMANT ASSETS SCHEME

A further £76 million is being released from dormant assets to help those struggling with the cost of living, DCMS has announced.

Beneficiaries include no-interest loans for 69,000 individuals struggling with finances via a £45 million grant distributed by Fair4All Finance. Hundreds of charities and social enterprises will receive support from a pot of £31 million, distributed by social investors Access and Big Society Capital. This will be used to retrofit premises with cleaner, greener, and more efficient energy systems, such as new boilers or heat pumps, solar panels, and new lighting.

This decision follows a public consultation last summer. A coalition from across the social, business and investment sectors came together to feed into the consultation and propose the Community Enterprise Growth Plan, with the goal of supporting social investment to reach places and communities that have not benefitted to date. The government has also announced that community wealth funds will become an additional beneficiary of the Dormant Assets Scheme. These are pots of money distributed to communities in deprived areas and released over a long time period, with local residents empowered to make decisions on how to use it.

The government will shortly launch a public consultation on the overarching design of this new initiative. Youth, social enterprises, and people in financial difficulty will continue to be supported, with previous beneficiaries including community centres and charities providing care for the socially isolated and elderly.

FUND

Better Tomorrows Fund

Background

Set up by David Beeby, High Sheriff of Cumbria 2021-22, the Fund aims to invest approximately £1m over the next three years into quality youth work training and provision, with the ultimate objective of substantially increasing the number of young people having access to support from youth workers.

It will encourage people within Cumbria to become accredited in youth work via Cumbria Youth Alliance’s training programme, along with funding youth work salaries through this open-access grant fund.

Donor

David Beeby has personally committed a significant amount to the programme and has secured funding from charitable trusts and donors, including Francis C Scott Charitable Trust, the Four Acre Trust, LLWR, and Cumbria Community Foundation, LLWR, CCL Secure, Carr’s Group, CGP Publications, Iggesund, BAE and James Walker.

Who can apply?

• charitable, not-for-profit organisations

• Priority will be given to projects that:

• provide access to youth work for additional young people

• create additional opportunities in areas where there is limited or no youth work provision

• seek to increase participation from young people from less affluent social economic groups and young people who might not usually take part in youth work their barriers and build their attainment, ambition and aspirations

• put young people at the centre in terms of voice and decision making

• support young people who are facing complex transitions, challenges, and barriers to accessing support and opportunities

What the Fund will not support in addition to our normal exclusions:

• existing or recent youth work posts

• overhead costs e.g. rent, IT, publicity

• individuals

How much can you apply for?

The maximum award will be no more than £25,000 per year. Multi-year funding may be considered for up to three years.

5 BETTER TOMORROWS

Frequently Asked Questions

We’re an existing youth project, would this fund the salary of an additional youth worker?

The intention of this fund is to prioritise areas where there is currently no youth work being delivered, and give more young people access to quality youth work. An additional youth worker would need to support young people who aren’t currently engaged in any existing youth work services (i.e., in a different area to current provision).

We’re a volunteer led organisation, would this fund our first youth worker?

Potentially yes, if the youth worker could significantly increase the number of young people they are engaged with.

We have an existing youth worker whose post runs out of funding soon, could we apply to this fund to cover the cost?

No. This fund aims to increase the number of young people having access to support from new youth work avenues rather than cover existing overheads.

We have a new youth work post, which was previously a volunteer role. Would this be eligible?

Only if the funded post is providing additional youth work opportunities to more young people. It would not be eligible if the volunteer previously delivered 10 hours of support each week and then wanted funding to cover salary costs delivering the same amount of hours.

We want to offer specialised youth work sessions (e.g. mental health support) over a limited period of time (e.g. 8 weeks) in different locations (e.g. school settings) to different groups of young people, would we be eligible?

No. Sessions must take place regularly, such as once a week, and ideally be offered over a minimum of one year to encourage more young people to take part. The sessions should also be delivered in one location (although more will be considered if you are are delivering sessions at a number of village halls, for example).

National Lottery Grants for Heritage

£10,000 to £250,000: National Lottery Grants for Heritage allows us to fund projects that connect people and communities to the national, regional and local heritage of the UK. Page last updated: 24 November 2022. See all updates.

Is this the right programme for you?

• Is your organisation looking to connect people and communities to heritage in the UK?

• Will your heritage project last up to five years?

• Do you require a grant of between £10,000 and £250,000?

• Are you a not-for-profit organisation, a private owner of heritage (grants up to £100,000) or a partnership?

If you answered yes to these questions, then National Lottery Grants for Heritage are for you.

Overview

Using money raised by the National Lottery, the National Lottery Heritage Fund inspires, leads and resources the UK’s heritage to create positive and lasting change for people and communities, now and for the future.

National Lottery Grants for Heritage is our open programme for all types of heritage projects in the UK. This guidance is for applications for grants from £10,000 to £250,000. It will tell you more about the programme and the types of project we can fund.

Priorities up to the end of 2022–2023 financial year

The impact of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic means we will prioritise heritage projects that:

• promote inclusion and involve a wider range of people (a mandatory outcome)

• boost the local economy

• encourage skills development and job creation

• support wellbeing

• create better places to live, work and visit

• improve the resilience of organisations working in heritage

Projects must achieve at least our inclusion outcome. In addition to our outcomes, all projects must also consider long-term environmental sustainability.

Please thoroughly read our supplementary document, Priorities for National Lottery Grants for Heritage. This is a formal part of the programme guidance until the end of the financial year 2022–2023. Other considerations:

• COVID-19 regulations: factor in assumptions on social distancing, without causing significant financial risks. Ensure you refer to national and local guidance.

• Risk: we will make a measured judgement on the potential risks your project might face due to COVID-19. Please carefully consider contingency costs within your application.

• Government sanctions: you must follow all legislation and regulations that apply to your project – this includes the current economic sanctions against Russia.

The Daniell Trust

Tony & Noreen Daniell founded the Trust in order to support charitable organisations close to their hearts. The Trustees endeavour to continue their good work through their support of well managed registered charities focused on the following areas:

The care and education of children and young people with severe learning difficulties Environmental conservation, including projects with a wildlife focus combined with local community engagement

We are keen to identify projects that combine these two key areas, for example initiatives which combine environmental objectives with significant community benefit. Our priority interest is projects that improve the health and wellbeing of children and young people with complex special educational needs through connections to nature and the environment.

The Trustees have decided to launch a new programme of grants for 2023. We have previously distributed small grants but are now looking to spend the remainder of the assets over the next few years on more significant, sustainable projects that will leave a lasting legacy to the Trust’s founders. Grants of between £50,000-£250,000 are now available.

Awards will now become a two-stage process requiring applicants to complete an initial Expression of Interest form. If selected, organisations will then be invited to apply for grant support.

Please note we only support charities that work in England, Wales or Scotland, and which have an annual turnover of at least £250,000.

The Adamson Trust

We are able to give financial help with the cost of holidays or respite breaks for disabled children aged between 3 and 17 with physical, mental or emotional impairments. We only give help for this purpose.

Welcome

16-year-old Alexandra, who has Downs Syndrome, on a 4-day trip to Northumberland which The Adamson Trust helped to fund. With her parents, Alexandra visited two museums, including the Roman Army, Hexham Abbey, all very interactive and great for visual learning, and, among other sites, Alnwick Castle where she enjoyed seeing and hearing about films made there, including Harry Potter.

The Adamson Trust was set up in 1947 by Agnes Adamson, a Crieff resident, with an endowment of £10,000 to buy and support a respite home or to give holiday grants for disabled children. However, the Trustees at the time decided instead to finance holidays and respite breaks for children with a wide range of illnesses or disabilities. The original endowment has grown with careful nurturing.

The conditions for receiving a grant are straightforward and should not discourage anyone from applying. The child must be between 3 and 17, and we require evidence of a disability or illness from a medical or social services professional. We may ask for evidence that the grant has been used for the holiday proposed. Grants usually cover a relatively small part of the holiday cost, and the Trustees maybut by no means always - seek assurances that the family has sufficient personal or supplementary funding to cover the balance. We also believe that disabled children should be able to go on holiday with or without their families. In the latter case, an added benefit is respite for the family.

The number of applications we receive has increased markedly and the six Trustees often have to consider many more applications than the available funds for a quarter can meet. They prioritise the most needy, focussing always on the disabled or ill child. Each decision by the Trustees is final. Most applicants are from Scotland or England, although the number from Northern Ireland and Wales has increased in recent years. Applications from other charities and schools remain fairly steady, but most are from individual families. Some have children with physical disabilities such as Down’s Syndrome or cerebral palsy, others have children who seriously ill, or who are autistic or have other neurologicaldevelopmental problems.

Who Can Apply?

Individual families can apply and, in addition, we accept applications on behalf of groups of children, organisations and other registered charities.

How Do I Apply?

The application form asks for some detailed information about the child, and also about the planned holiday. It is essential that this is provided.

In mid-2020 the Trustees reduced the number of meetings from four to three a year, reflecting the impact of the pandemic. However, many charities were able to resume running their clubs and outings in 2021 for the first time in 18 months - after what was a particularly difficult time for handicapped children and their carers - and the Trust has reverted to holding four meetings annually. These are at the beginning of February, May, August and November.

Applications must be received by December 31 for the February meeting, by March 31 for the May meeting, by June 30 for the August meeting, and by September 30 for the November meeting.

Climate Action Fund - Energy and Climate

Creating Enterprise CIC from Conwy, North Wales Funding Funding programmes

This funding aims to inspire and support communities across the UK to address the energy and climate crisis. We’re looking for projects that show how communities can address climate change while tackling the energy challenges through community-led climate action.

We want to fund projects that:

• encourage communities to use energy in an environmentally friendly way

• bring communities together so that they can explore ways to promote energy efficiency

• enable communities to understand and engage with opportunities for clean energy generation, which do not use fossil fuels.

All projects should consider how everyone in the community can get involved with climate action. They must also address any reasons why some people might be left out.

We’re looking for projects that will bring a range of benefits to communities, including:

• improving health and well-being

• creating local ’green’ jobs, such as jobs providing low-carbon heat for homes, community energy champions and energy advisors

• reducing carbon emissions

• supporting communities to be more resilient.

We want to fund projects that aim for long term change. And projects that have the potential to have a positive impact beyond the communities they're directly working with. You can read our blog for examples of energy projects we’re likely to fund.

Who we’ll accept applications from

We'll accept applications from either:

• Local partnerships

• UK-wide partnerships

• single voluntary or community organisations

Further funding for a UK-wide Learning Network to support community-driven energy projects across the UK will open to applications in April. More information will be published on this page.

Nature and Climate funding

You can still apply for nature and climate funding, find out more and apply.

• Area: UK-wide

• Suitable for: Community and voluntary organisations

• Funding size: Projects can apply for up to £1.5 million over 2 to 5 years, with most projects over £500,000. Minimum grant £500,000. We aim to fund around 8-12 projects.

• Total available: £10m including £1.5m for a Learning Network.

• Application deadline: You can apply when you’re ready. We expect the programme to remain open until at least December 2023 but it will depend on when and how many others apply for our funding.

Youth Endowment Fund

Agency Collaboration Fund: A supportive home

In partnership with BBC Children in Need and The Hunter Foundation. Applications close 5pm Tuesday 16th May 2023. Apply here

We know that many children and young people at risk of becoming involved in violence are known to local agencies. Yet this knowledge is often fragmented across multiple organisations, with different people holding different pieces of the puzzle. Opportunities where agencies could and should work together are missed.

To help understand where those opportunities are, we’re investing in our Agency Collaboration Fund. We want to find out how agencies can better share data, power and information to prevent children from becoming involved in violence.

What we’re aiming to invest in

For the second grant round of our Agency Collaboration Fund, we’ve partnered with BBC Children in Need and The Hunter Foundation to launch A supportive home.

A supportive home will test specialist multi-agency and multi-disciplinary teams located in neighbourhoods to support children, young people and their families/carers who are vulnerable to – or experiencing – violence or criminal exploitation outside the home.

The grant round will fund local authorities to put into action recommendations from the Independent Review of Children’s Social Care

Who we’re looking to fund

We will fund and evaluate up to five local authority area partnerships in England and/or Wales.

Each successful partnership application will test a multi-agency team approach in two different neighbourhoods/localities within one local authority area.

We seek applications from local authority area partnerships where the lead partner is the local authority.

As a minimum, partnerships must include:

• Local authority – inclusive of early help; children’s social care; Youth Offending Team; education; youth work (where delivered by the local authority); relevant services to support young adults.

• Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) delivery partners – these may be large specialist organisations and/or local specialist grassroot organisations who are known and trusted by the communities.

• The police.

• Probation.

• Mental health professionals for both children and young adults.

• Education, (if not part of the local authority) including schools.

In addition, there’s an expectation that partnerships will place a strong emphasis on involving children and young people and their parents/carers as partners in the service design, delivery and review.

Duration of project delivery and funding

Projects will be initially funded for 18 months. This includes up to six months preparation, including recruitment, and a 12-month implementation phase. Implementation will be evaluated through a feasibility study.

Subject to positive feasibility study findings, projects will then be funded for a further two or three years during which an impact evaluation will be undertaken. Applicants will need to demonstrate willingness to engage in both feasibility and impact evaluations as part of the application process.

For the feasibility phase, the YEF in partnership with BBC Children in Need and The Hunter Foundation, will invest up to £500,000 per partnership for delivery costs and between £85,000 and £110,000 per partnership for evaluation.
