Thriving Communities Fund - Skills & Learning
Fund details & criteria
Fund purpose
We are thrilled to launch our new Thriving Communities Fund - Skills & Learning. The Fund exists to provide place-based grants that empower local groups supporting SNG customers to learn, develop and thrive. Grants from £1,000 to £5,00 are available for groups that operate within defined SNG communities where we have homes and whose work will directly benefit SNG customers. We are particularly interested in projects that demonstrate a clear understanding of what is already available in the local community, how it will complement existing provision, address gaps and work in partnership with others, to deliver a long-lasting impact on the local community. We also encourage projects that are supporting diverse, marginalised or vulnerable groups - Community Digital Support - - Projects that focus on increasing community access to digital skills, equipment, and connectivity, enabling people to get online. This could be via group digital skills sessions or 121 support. Family Learning - - Projects that provide support for learning for the whole family, enabling adults and children to learn and thrive. Financial skills and resilience - Projects that focus on developing financial skills and resilience, increasing income and reducing debt for those in financial hardship. - We are specifically interested in funding community-based group money coaching and resilience courses. We are unable to fund 121 debt advice. Food Education - Projects which focus on developing knowledge and skills for cooking, eating well and affordable nutrition. Further information about projects we will fund, eligibility and our communities can be found on our website – https://www.sng.org.uk/thriving-communities/skills-and-learning-fund
