SCTP member CXK, have announced the availability of new ESF grants of between £10,000 and £20,000 for VCSE and small organisations to support unemployed or inactive adults. The funding will be available across the South East LEP area, for organisations that help people progress towards employment or learning and training. This may be through first contact engagement activities; projects which improve confidence, motivation and social integration such as sport, gardening, music or art; the development of local networks and groups to support people to get a job or access learning; or softer skills development. The grants will be particularly targeted towards organisations that help four key priority groups including people over 50, individuals with disabilities, people from ethnic minorities and females. The programme will be launched on 1 April 2019. If you wish to register to receive full details on the grants and how to access them, you can send your contact details to esfcommunitygrants@cxk.org.
