CABWI Annual Grants Programme

CABWI facilitates learning and development that empowers young people aged 16+ and adults to gain additional skills and confidence to enter the labour market through their annual grants programme. The programme supports small to medium-sized charities working directly with young people and adults who are not in employment, training or education (NEET), helping them to improve their access to employment. The grants support projects that work with individuals with complex barriers to employment to gain life skills, qualifications and work experience leading to employment, and prioritize projects with clear and well-established connections to employers who can offer meaningful work experience and/or employment. The charity particularly welcomes, though does not require, projects that prepare young people 16+ and adults who seek a career in the water, utilities and construction industries. CABWI provides both core and project funding with a light touch process focused on impact and outcomes.
