Expect Youth - Essential Life Skills Grant Fund

The Essential Life Skills Fund application and guidance documents are now live and open till 25th June 2018.

Expect Youth, Doncaster Council and the DfE has allocated £450,000 of Opportunity Area funding for the implementation of an Essential Life Skills grant programme. The funding can be used for groups who will provide activities to support children and young people to gain skills that will promote the following outcomes:

■Resilience, perseverance and persistence
■Hard work, self-control, discipline and good time keeping
■Self-confidence, leadership and team working
■Honesty, integrity and engaged citizenship
■Attitude, respect and empathy
■Curiosity and problem solving

Expect Youth and partners will specifically target children and young people facing disadvantage in Doncaster to ensure they have access to the same activities to enhance life skills that their more affluent peers in the borough do.

Organisations will be able to bid for between £10,000-£25,000 and £30,000 -£110,000 of funding. The Grant Fund will be open until 25th June 2018 and will allocate up to £450k from the total budget to fund a range of extracurricular activities.
