Funding Opportunities

Local Community Skills Fund

The Local Community Skills Fund aims to support a wide range of initiatives that will make a positive impact on communities across the UK. One key focus is to fund innovative local and community-led projects that may not be eligible for traditional funding sources. This could include anything from setting up a community garden to running a digital skills workshop. The fund also seeks to help disadvantaged people develop the skills they need to find employment by providing training and support. Additionally, the fund will address specific skills gaps in local areas and reach out to communities where access to training and development opportunities is limited. By working with external organisations, the fund aims to create a sustainable model for delivering social impact through funding and match-funding. The programme supports people aged 16+ who are facing barriers and focuses on developing skills required to move towards or into employment.
