Deadline: 26-Oct-21
The Triangle Trust has launched its Young Offender Grants Program to fund projects that work with young people with criminal convictions (up to the age of 25) to find meaningful and secure employment.
Target Audiences
- Funding can only be used to work with young people who have been in the criminal justice system, even if your organisation works with young people more broadly. They recognise that some young people with criminal records are particularly disadvantaged by intersecting inequality related to their race, gender and experiences of the care system. As such they will prioritise proposals that provide specialist support to target:
- Young people who are from Black or minoritised/racialised communities (often referred to as Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities),
- Young women and girls, and
- Young people who have been looked after
- If you already work specifically with adults who have criminal convictions around employment you will need to show them in your application that you understand the unique challenges faced by young people and that your project will offer support that is appropriate and effective for their needs. This might be through working with another organisation who have this specific expertise of working with young people.
Eligibility Criteria
- Does your organisation have previous experience of either working with young people with criminal convictions or adults with criminal convictions in an employment context?
- Is the project you are applying for funding solely working with young people with criminal convictions?
- Is your proposal building on work that you are already doing with young people with criminal convictions or adults with criminal convictions?
- Does your project have an employment focus and targets that are specifically linked to employment outcomes?
- Is your average annual income over the past three years less than £1,000,000?
- Are you a registered charity or an organisation set up with a clear social purpose and appropriate governing documents stating this?
