This fund will work with organisations committed to improving pathways to employment, and support to keep individuals in employment, aged 30+ across South Yorkshire.

Initial preference will be to those working in rural communities in Doncaster and Rotherham but we are keen to support groups across the region. Grants can fund a one-off or continuing project, and can also be for core costs if your organisation’s charitable purpose is to improve employability for people.

Up to £5,000 is available for one-off project work to be spent within 12 months of grant received. Multi-year funding is also available, up to £5,000 per year for three years meaning a total grant of £15,000. Due to the timescales of the fund, projects should not start before 1st May 2025.

The grant funding is focused on project costs including operating and revenue costs. Note that this fund will run in two rounds for 2025 so if you are unable to make the deadline for this round, there will be another opportunity to apply from April.
