Charities must be able to demonstrate ongoing financial viability over the next 12 months.
Standalone mainstream nurseries/early years establishments, who hold charitable status and have a turnover of less than £150,000 per annum, may be able to apply to the Small Grants Scheme.
Grant amount: Between £2,000 and £10,000 are available for 12 months.
Grants can be used for core costs or essential equipment.
Application process: Applications can be made at any time.
