After a three-month pause, the Thomas Wall Trust is once again accepting applications. The Trust has made a couple of changes to its grants programme.
The focus is now on proposals that provide communication skills to disadvantaged people aged 18 years or older (previously it was 11 years and over) to increase their prospects of employment.
UK charities that have been registered with the Charity Commission for at least three years and have an annual turnover that does not exceed £500,000 can apply for grants of up to £5,000. The Trust will support annual repeat funding for up to three years.
Proposals are particularly welcome which target people experiencing multiple deprivation or other groups demonstrably facing major hurdles to employment, such as women, people with physical, mental, or learning disabilities, refugees and asylum seekers.
How To Apply
Applications are currently being accepted for the November 2021 meeting.
There is a two-stage application process.
- Stage one is to complete an online Expression of Interest form (available on the Trust's website) which requires some basic contact details and a description of what the funding is required for.
- Stage two is by invitation only and involves completing a more in-depth application form and to submit a Project Plan, budget, latest set of financial accounts and any relevant policies.
Successful applicants will be notified in writing along with the terms and conditions of the grant and asked for their payment details.
Unsuccessful applicants will be notified by email unless the Trust receives an unusually high volume of applications.
Groups that would like to contact the Trust will need to use the Trust's online message form which is on Trust's website contact page.
