ESF Community Grants of £5,000 to £20,000 are available to voluntary organisations to deliver projects for unemployed people by helping them to overcome barriers to employment and progress into education, training or jobs. Groundwork manages the grant fund on behalf of the Education Skills Funding Agency (ESFA). The programme will remain open until October 2022 or until funding has been spent - so apply as soon as possible before funds run out. Anushka is the local enabler for Leeds and Bradford and can give you support with your application. Anushka.Vinales@groundwork.org.uk
