Voluntary organisations working in the criminal justice system with an annual income under £250,000 can apply now for grant funding to support their vital work through the winter. The deadline for applications is 9am on Monday 4th January 2021, although early applications are encouraged.
This round of funding includes some quite specific eligibility criteria so please do read the below, and our detailed criteria document, carefully and get in touch if you have any questions.
- We want to hear from organisations with an existing relationship with HMPPS with under £250,000 annual income who are currently delivering services to support people in prison, through-the-gate or in the community, and who have been impacted financially by Covid-19.
- We're keen to hear from organisations working across the breadth of the voluntary sector in England and Wales, in particular BAME-led and -focussed organisations and those delivering specialist services for people with protected characteristics.
What will be funded
- Activities and resources which help organisations deliver support to people in the criminal justice system during the crisis. For example, this could be additional equipment or a contribution towards a salary or core costs. We expect to provide grants of £3,000 - £5,000. No organisation will be granted more than £10,000.
- The funding is not for activity already delivered by Community Rehabilitation Companies, but can complement it.
- You must not already have secured funding from other sources for the same activity.
