Lawrence Atwell’s Charity (the Skinner’s Company) provides grant funding to registered charities and Community Interest Companies in England and Wales that are enabling disadvantaged young people who are not in education, employment or training (NEET) to move into employment or become employment ready.
The Charity also offers grants of up to £2,000 to individual young people aged 16-26 living in England and Wales from low-income backgrounds to help them gain vocational, accredited qualifications. In its programme for individuals, grants of up to £1,500 are available to take courses (up to level 3) that will help them move into employment. Funding can be given for course fees, equipment/materials, travel costs, childcare and living costs. There are no application deadlines: applications may be made at any time.
Under its programme for charities, registered charities and Community Interest Companies may apply for a revenue grant (the charity does not fund capital projects) of up to £10,000 for each year up to a maximum period of 3 years. Grants tend to be for specific projects rather than general organisational costs. The charity will, however, consider pro-rata staffing and operational costs where this is appropriate.
