2 x £50,000 funding opportunity is live.
This funding opportunity from the National Leadership Network aims to support organisations to run projects which support positive outcomes for individuals (14+) in the care experience community. The focus is to fund projects which support leadership opportunities and experiences which relate to personal and professional development.
This opportunity relates to only two projects being funded up to £50,000 over the next 2 years. We received a large number of Expressions of Interest (EOI) forms. The National Leadership Network Steering Group are taking several EOIs to full application. We will keep you updated on this.
More funding opportunities will be shared in due course (see our Funding Strategy for more info).
With this project funding we will aim to be flexible and innovative. We understand that projects often need to adapt their plans as they go. We will support projects to change and adapt if needed. We will encourage projects to be innovative and try new things. We will always encourage collaboration. The process we are taking is as follows:
We asked for an Expression of Interest form with information on proposed projects and how they aim to support and include individuals with care experience. We will then ask successful projects to complete a full application form. The Steering Group will then decide on what work is funded. We will then award funding and expect an interim and a final report directed by the funded organisations.
PLEASE NOTE: There is currently no funding opportunities available. The next thing we will promote s Individual Grants in early 2025.
This funding opportunity is part of the National Leadership Network Funding Strategy, 2024-26 which has been produced by our Steering Group.
