[cma-l] Funding News - BBC Children in Need Grants Programme - Winter Deadlines (UK)

[CMA-L]

BBC Children in Need is currently accepting applications from charities and
not-for-profit organisations working with disadvantaged children and young
people in the UK who are 18 years old and younger.

BBC Children in Need is the BBC's UK charity which has raised more than
£600 million since 1980 to change the lives of disadvantaged children and
young people living in the UK, the Isle of Man or the Channel Island.

Registered charities, voluntary organisations, schools, churches and
community interest groups can apply for either a Small Grant of up to
£10,000 (for projects of one year) or a Main Grant exceeding £10,000 (for
projects of up to three years).

Projects must benefit children and young people (aged 18 years and younger)
who are experiencing disadvantage through:

   - Illness, distress, abuse or neglect.
   - Any kind of disability.
   - Behavioural or psychological difficulties.
   - Living in poverty or situations of deprivation.

Organisations must be working to combat this disadvantage and to make a
real difference to children and young people's lives.

Projects should:

   - Take the initiative and show clearly how they will make a difference
   in children and young people's lives.
   - Address the challenges the children and young people face, build their
   skills and resilience, empower them and extend their choices in life.
   - Involve children and young people in the design, delivery and
   evaluation of their work.
   - Be keen to keep learning about their work so that their ability to
   make a difference in children and young people's lives can keep on
   improving.

The Small Grants programme is looking for projects where a relatively small
amount of money can make a big difference for children and young people.

The grants are to be used for direct project costs that relate clearly and
directly to a project. These can include salaries, volunteer expenses,
building hire costs and travel costs. In many cases project costs also
include less delivery-focused aspects such as line management,
administration, insurance and utilities. Match funding is not required.

Although applications are accepted throughout the year, there are specific
deadlines and award dates.

*The next deadline for Small Grant applications is 1 December 2015.*

*The next deadline for Main Grant applications is 15 January 2016.*
