Grants for charities

We provide grants and wider support to charities that can deliver innovative, practical skills and employment opportunities for individuals facing barriers to work.

The programmes we fund are often experimental in nature, and help prove that through taking a creative, targeted approach to widening talent pools and supporting harder to reach groups, we can build a better, fairer, more productive society.

We are currently focused on:

• Helping prisoners gain skills and move into lasting employment on release
• Removing barriers faced by refugees to develop skills and get meaningful work
• Supporting people at Critical Transition Points in their lives and careers
