Aims/priorities: This fund aims to help unlock the potential of underprivileged 16- to 25-year-olds from historically marginalised communities, more specifically young people whose exclusion has hurt their levels of literacy and aspiration.

Funding will enable partnership organisations to use the power of storytelling and language to empower marginalised young people and create an environment where they can experience how language can be used to express and present themselves, open doors and create opportunities.

Aims/priorities: The Carbon Emissions Reduction Fund (CERF) supports initiatives principally aimed at reducing the climate change impact associated with energy use, which relate to Ofgem’s regulated areas of energy generation, distribution, supply and use.

The funding is for projects that demonstrate measurable and lasting reductions in the carbon intensity of energy use and accelerate the transition to net zero. Projects must also have a realistic prospect of delivering broadly replicable benefits to existing and future energy consumers.

Aims/priorities: The funding is intended to support the primary aim of this project which is to deliver recommendations 17-19 of the LGBT Veterans’ Independent Review.

The memorial should reflect the views of the LGBT serving and veteran community, which should be collected as part of the project, with efforts made to engage harder to reach cohorts.  

The project should be delivered by March 2025, culminating in the erection of the memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum.

Aims/priorities: The aim of this strand is to progress people into employment and is very much linked to wider UKSPF People & Skills activity, as well as wider work & skills activity e.g. Working Well.

This helps with re-engagement and engagement activity for residents who would benefit from these programmes but can’t access them at the moment. This could be linked to a range of barriers our residents are facing.

Who can apply? Local VCSE organisations and Housing Associations

Grant amount: Up to £100k
