UK registered charities with an annual income of between £350,000 and £4 million can apply now for funding in 2025 to support their work to prevent people entering the criminal justice system and to support those already in the system to move on and rebuild their lives.
Grants of between £15,000 to £25,000 per annum for one to three years (up to £25,000 may be available for a pilot project) will support:
- Targeted early intervention programmes aimed at reaching the most troubled and vulnerable families in a community.
- Preventative and diversionary projects for young people at risk of offending including tailored interventions identifying and addressing the particular needs of girls and young women.
- Programmes, particularly those with a focus on young offenders, combining prison based and community interventions dealing with rehabilitation of offenders, accommodation and support on release, helping with maintaining family relationships, mentoring, and mapping and creating pathways to employment.
- Schemes offering viable alternatives to custody, in particularly for women and young people.
- Programmes of support directed towards rehabilitating the victims of domestic abuse and criminal exploitation.
There is a two stage application process.
The first deadline for Stage 1 applications is 31 January 2025 for consideration in March 2025.
