This funding is focused on targeted work with high-risk young women and girls aged 11 and 30 who are on the edge of the criminal justice system, with two funding rounds a year.

Grants of up to £80,000 over two years are available to UK registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and community interest companies where women and girls make up at least 80% of their total beneficiaries. Up £40,000 can be requested per year.

A proven track record of running projects with vulnerable and challenging young women and girls between the ages of 11 and 30 years is required, and the organisation’s work must be both gender and trauma informed.

There is a particular interest in working with young women and girls who are care experienced, come from Black or minoritised/racialised communities, and work that is led by people with lived experience.

There is a two stage application process. Following the submission of an initial online application, shortlisted applicants will be asked to host an assessment visit with the Trust’s Director, so they can learn more about your work and project proposal.

The closing date for the current funding round is 12 midnight on Wednesday 21 May 2025.

All applicants will be notified if they have been shortlisted by 1 July 2025 and assessments will be made in the following months.

Outcomes will be notified by 30 October 2025 and grants awarded must start by March 2026.

The following funding round will open on 16 September 2025 and have a deadline for applications of 28 October 2025.

A small grants programme will also open in September, for small grants of up to £10,000 to organisations with annual income up to £50,000. Details will be released Summer 2025.
