Applicants must demonstrate significant expertise working with vulnerable and challenging young women and girls.
The Trust holds two funding rounds per year:
- The Spring round is for proposals focused on work with young people who already have a criminal conviction. Only organisations exclusively led by and for women and girls can apply to this round.
- The Autumn round is for proposals focused on targeted work with high-risk young people on the edge of the criminal justice system.
Grants of between £10,000 and £80,000 for a duration of 12 months to two years are available.
A maximum of £40,000 per year can be requested. The amount of funding must be proportional to the project being undertaken.
Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and community interest companies with an average annual income of less than £1.5 million over the past three years, that are working within the UK and have a UK office can apply.
The Trust particularly welcomes applications from organisations working in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
