Aims/priorities: The aim of the Fund is to provide school children (up to Year 11) with improved access to summer holiday activity and food schemes. The programme will support organisations who already provide food and holiday activities to increase access and reach. It will also support organisations that currently do not provide such services but feel well-placed to deliver a summer food and activity scheme.
Who can apply? Nourish the Nation welcomes applications from Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector community groups based in any of the ten boroughs of Greater Manchester. Further information about the type of organisation that can apply can be found in our Supporting Information guide, which forms part of the fund criteria. Please note, for this programme, only formally registered organisations can apply (Charities/CIO’s/CIC’s Ltd by Guarantee etc).*
Applicant organisations must be based in one of the ten boroughs in Greater Manchester and have an annual income of less than £500,000. Due to an expected high volume of applications, we will further prioritise those organisations with lower incomes and aim to achieve a broad geographical spread against areas of need.
Grant amount: Organisations can apply for grants up to £10,000. 10% of this can be allocated towards core organisational costs such as, but not limited to, rent, bills and staff costs.
Application process: Please read these guidelines and the supporting links in full before applying.
Deadline: Tuesday 28 May 2024, midday.
