Hey everyone,
Young Women's Trust have recently launched a Grants Service to provide financial support to young people aged between 18-30. Here's some information about their Grants Service:
Young Women’s Trust Grants Service
Our Grants Service provides financial support to young women aged 18-30 who have limited financial resources, to help them overcome practical barriers to work. It is available to women living in England and Wales, who are claiming work-related state benefits and actively looking for or committed to progressing in work. The Grants Service is easy to use. Young women just need to complete an online application form telling us about themselves and what they need to help them find work or improve their work situation.
We will not give cash, but will buy things on young women’s behalf, that they think will help them. Women have told us some of the things they most need help with are:
The deadline for the next round of applications is 17th July 2017 (by 12 noon).
Further rounds will follow until the end of the year. The application process involves answering a number of questions – which can be done online using a mobile, tablet or computer. An average of £350 is spent on each grant – with a maximum amount of £500.
For further information about the Grants Service please visit their website here.
