Funding opportunities for those offering employment support to young people and the over 25s

WCVA’s free events happening across Wales - hear about new funding from the Active Inclusion (Youth) Fund.

Any organisations that can offer activities, qualifications or supported employment to young people who are not in employment, education or training, are invited to apply to WCVA’s Active Inclusion (Youth) Fund.

The fund is supported by the European Social Fund through Welsh Government, managed by WCVA and will operate in the West Wales and Valleys region. It is very similar to the Active Inclusion funds already open for over 25s, but this fund will focus on 16 - 24 year olds, particularly those young people who are furthest from the labour market and have multiple barriers to employment.

If your organisation is already an 'approved beneficiary' for the Active Inclusion Fund, it may also have been approved for the 16 – 24 age group and if so, will receive invitations to make grant applications as soon as they are published. If you are new to Active Inclusion, or European funding, WCVA is holding a series of events across Wales, which will introduce the fund, explain the online application process and offer support with networking and project planning. Applications for the over 25s are still open across Wales. Book your place now by contacting activeinclusion@wcva.org.uk
