Child poverty strategy community engagement grant

£50,000 is being made available to third sector organisations or community groups.

We will provide grants to eligible organisations/groups of up to a maximum of £4,995.

The grant helps ensure that the refreshed Child Poverty Strategy is developed with people from households and communities where children are living in poverty.

We aim to fund a range of organisations/groups to ensure all can be reached. We will also be looking to ensure a geographic spread. The grant panel will consider value for money in their decision making.

Third sector, community groups or organisations which specialise in supporting, engaging or working with people with protected characteristics.
