Following a period of closure to undertake a strategic review, the Triangle Trust 1949 Fund is once again accepting applications. This year, there will be a focus on young offenders or those at risk 
of offending.
For round one, proposals must be aimed solely at supporting young people (aged 11 to 25 years) with criminal convictions. Funded projects should follow a ‘Sport 4 Development’ approach. This refers to the intentional use of sport and physical activity to attain specific social development objectives, in this case to reduce rates of reoffending.
Grants of up to £80,000 over two years are on offer, with a maximum of £40,000 that can be requested per year.
Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and community interest companies that are working within the UK and have a UK office can apply. Applicants must a turnover of less than £1,500,000 and previous experience of working with young people with criminal convictions.
The funders are particularly interested in proposals that:
- Have specific outcomes and targets related to individual development, health and well-being, employability, education, and social cohesion
- Demonstrate that they understand the wide range of challenges and issues that will need to be addressed to help a young person succeed after being released from a Young Offenders Institution or prison
- Show existing work with young people who have been in the criminal justice system is already taking place and can evidence a track record of helping them to achieve positive outcomes
Projects which offer targeted support to young people from Black or minoritised backgrounds, young women and girls or young people with experience of the care system will be given priority.
Deadline: 21 May 2023
