Round 2 of this funding will focus on work with young women aged 17-30 years that takes place in prisons, through the gate and ongoing post release support.

A maximum of £50,000 per year can be requested, for projects of 18 months to three years, with the amount of funding requested being proportional to the project being undertaken.

This funding is specifically to support projects that work with young women aged 17-30 in the following areas:

• young women already in contact with the criminal justice system who need holistic support to help them more away from offending, such as maintaining tenancies, securing and retaining jobs and building secure and healthy family relationships
• pre-release and through the gate support for young women to meet their immediate needs
• support for mothers prior to and after serving a custodial sentence.

Applicant organisations for both rounds will need to be either ‘led by and for’ women and girls or be able to demonstrate that they are ‘issue experts’ working on one of the abovenamed areas.

There are three stages to the application process. Following the completion of an eligibility checker you may be able to submit a short Expression of Interest. If this demonstrates a close fit to the required criteria, you will be invited to submit an online application that will be reviewed by the Trust’s staff and trustees. Shortlisted applicants will then be asked to host an assessment visit with the Trust’s Director, either online or in person.  

Pre-application support to discuss potential applications is offered. Email info@triangletrust.org.uk or call 07716 378564 during the Trust’s office hours.

Expressions of Interest open on 10 September 2026 and close on 15 October 2026.
