An opportunity to find out more about the ESF Community Grants Scheme
Hartlepool Borough Council has been awarded the contract to deliver the ESF Community Grants Programme in the Tees Valley. The programme is jointly funded by the European Social Fund (ESF) and the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA).
There is a total of £2.7m of grant funding available over the lifetime of the programme. This attached prospectus outlines the background to the programme, the detail of the programme’s themes and expected outcomes.
The programme aims to make available small grants (up to £20,000 with a minimum grant value of £10,000) to third sector and other small organisations for the purpose of mobilising disadvantaged or excluded unemployed and inactive people to enable their progress towards employment. The eligibility criteria to apply for a Community Grant is shown below:
Small Organisation: Organisations that employ fewer than 49 full time equivalent staff and have an annual turnover equal to or under EUR 10 million or balance sheet equal to or below EUR 10 million.
Third Sector Organisation: an organisation which operates within the Third Sector (which is the part of an economy or society comprising nongovernmental and non-profit making organisations or associations including charities, voluntary and community groups).
The Recipient Organisations that access grants need to be well placed to reach excluded individuals facing barriers, which hinder their access to mainstream provision by:
Engaging with marginalised individuals and support them to re-engage with education, training, or employment
Supporting a range of activities aimed at assisting the disadvantaged or excluded to move closer to the labour market by improving their access to mainstream ESF and domestic employment and skills provision
Providing support to the hardest to reach communities and individuals, especially those from deprived communities, to access employment or further learning and training.
