Trefoil is accepting submissions for the Personal Development Grant Programme to support personal development and independence (educational, social or moral development) for eligible individuals/groups where statutory funding is not available, considered to be inappropriate or indeed needs to be topped up (this is not to replace statutory funding or to relieve statutory bodies of their funding and support obligations).
Funding Information
This fund is capped at £2,500.
Eligibility Criteria
Young people in Scotland under the age of 25 years with additional support needs which may be psycho/social or of a physical nature which impacts upon their development.
Structure
The grants may be provided to individuals or organisations.
The project or event should be structured in order to provide an evaluation criterion which is agreed in advance of the award.
The criteria must be mutually agreed between Trefoil, the individual and the supervising body. The level of the award will be at the discretion of the Trefoil Grants Committee and will only be subject to appeal under extreme circumstances.
Normally involvement in projects or awards which should be subject to statutory funding will not be considered, although match funding with other sources such as Local Authorities and charities will be considered.
