16- to 24-year-olds not in employment, education or training

The funding, which the Society Foundation provides, will support small or growing organisations with a turnover of up to £500,000 with capacity building activities, including:

IT infrastructure and equipment
staff training and development
external consultancy/support

The deadline for applications is midday on the 12th September 2025.

(If you are from outside the borough, we may still be able to help through our fee-based SCVO+ service). Drop us a line at support@scvo.info to find out more.
