Small grants for voluntary organisations

Together with our Children's Trust partners (Primary Care and Acute Trusts, Metropolitan Police and the Voluntary and Community Sector) we have been working together to develop priorities for our Children's and Young Peoples Plan (CYPP).

We are inviting voluntary organisations to bid for small grants to provide services to improve outcomes for children and young people within the borough of Wandsworth, focusing on the CYPP. The application process should show how your service will improve outcomes for children against the chosen CYPP priorities outlined below:

  1. Educational achievement and play
  2. Physical activity
  3. Disability
  4. Parents/Carers/Young children
  5. Emotional well-being

Criteria for funding is available upon application.

As well as accepting applications from single organisations, we are also encourageing applications for joint bids from more than one organisation to meet the CYPP priorities.

If an application is approved a one-year contract will be issued.

A briefing session to discuss the new process and how to establish outcomes for children will be held with Wandsworth Voluntary Sector Development Agency on Tuesday 30th September 2008, Time 10.30am to 2.30pm. Location - Wandsworth Town Hall, Council Chamber, Wandsworth High Street, SW18 2PU.  To book your attendance please telephone or email Laura Hooper, 020-8871-8333 or lhooper@wandsworth.gov.uk

To show your expressions of interest please apply for an information pack by email: sdawson@wandsworth.gov.uk or by telephone 020 8871 7008
