Moving On Up

The Moving on Up fund is a grant program generously supported by Quickline, specialist broadband providers to rural communities. This pilot project works with groups focused on improving the employability skills and prospects for people in South Yorkshire, aged 30 and under. The aim of this funding is to help community organisations support young people in South Yorkshire from pre-employability through to established pathways. Initial preference will be given to those working in rural communities in Doncaster and Rotherham, but support is available across the region. The fund supports a range of approaches from pre-employability through to pathways into work. Grants can fund one-off or continuing projects, and can also be for core costs if your organisation's charitable purpose is to improve employability for young people. The grant funding is focused on project costs including operating and revenue costs, with encouragement to pay at least the real Living Wage for staff costs. Organizations are encouraged to include a fair share of overheads like rent or room hire, utilities, and admin or management costs needed to support their project.
