Grants of up to £13,500 are available to organisations in the North West who are running community projects that enable people to take that step further towards employment.

ESF Community Learning Grants not only fund the projects but also help to build the skills and capacity of the organisations that are running the projects, to ensure that the good work they are doing can continue well into the future. This could be just the programme to help your organisation make the social impact in your community that it needs.

• Initial help with basic skills

• People aged 50 or over and seeking employment
• People from ethnic minorities
