The Lloyds TSB Foundation Young Offenders Programme will provide £1 million funding to charities which are improving the life choices and chances of young offenders in England and Wales.
The Programme is open to registered charities with a proven track record of working with young offenders in areas including:
• accommodation
• skills training
• employment mentoring
• drugs and alcohol
• mental health
• restorative justice
• family support and relationships
Grants will be available for new and innovative work, as well as those extending a proven model of successful work or enabling the development of joined up projects. Charities of any size are welcome to apply to the Young Offenders Programme and the application deadline is September 25th 2009.
It will be a two-stage application process and interested charities are now invited to complete an Expression of Interest form. After they have considered all Expressions of Interest they will invite successful charities to proceed to a full application or inform them that they have been unsuccessful.
