ESF Community Grants Programme (East Midland)
The East Midlands ESF Community Grants programme was launched on 2 February 2009. The aim of providing small grants is to give community groups an opportunity to access funding, through a simplified process, to undertake activity that helps engage and progress disadvantaged individuals in positive community work.
Projects should provide an opportunity for them to develop their confidence and skills and be more able to take advantage of further opportunities that help them progress towards the labour market. For this first application round there is a total of £586,000 funding available. Groups can apply for up to £10,000, with an expected average grant being £5,870. The applications deadline will be 30 March 2009.
