Devon County Council: Innovation Grants Scheme in the UK

Deadline: 06-Feb-23

The Devon County Council Innovation Grants Scheme for disabled children is now open for applications for 2023-24.

The aim of the Innovation Grants scheme is help develop a range of activities, services and support which is accessible to disabled children and young people of all ages (0-18 years of age) across Devon.

• Promotion and delivery of greater inclusivity to enable disabled children and young people with Special Educational Needs to fully access their local community and take part in activities, services and groups alongside their parent carers, siblings, peers and friends.
