The Thomas Wall Trust funds projects targeted towards people experiencing multiple deprivation or facing major hurdles to employment – especially women, people with physical, mental, or learning disabilities and refugees.
The Trust offers grants up to £5,000 for projects that improve communication skills for disadvantaged adults and supports NEET people into employment. Beneficiaries must gain at least one accredited vocational qualification during delivery or within two months of project completion.
The Trust offers grants for specific projects rather than general organisational costs. Pro-rata staffing and operational costs will be considered if appropriate.
Applicants must be UK charities that have been registered for at least 3 years and have an annual turnover of £25,000 to £500,000
How to apply:
The application process is divided into two stages:
