The CABWI Lifelong Learning and Development Fund is an annual fund provided by CABWI, the awarding body for the water and utilities industries, and is managed by the CABWI charity.
Through the fund, grants will be available to registered charities in the UK that work directly with young people and adults who are not in employment, training, or education (NEET).
Organisations with an income of:
- Between £231,000 and £1 million can apply for grants of up to £35,000.
- Up to £231,000 may apply for a maximum of 15% of their previous year's turnover.
Funding priorities are:
- Working directly with young people who are either NEET or at risk of becoming NEET to improve their access to employment and the labour market.
- Reaching and working with individuals with complex barriers to employment, enabling them to move closer to or into employment, including (but not restricted to) ex-service personnel and ex-offenders.
- Increasing the life skills of people so that they may further develop their careers, with a particular focus on the water, utilities and construction industries.
In this round, there is a particular interest in supporting innovative approaches that highlight new ideas or ways of tackling barriers to training and employment.
Funding can be used for core and/or project costs.
CABWI is holding a webinar for potential applicants on 8 January 2025 (noon). Applicants must register for the webinar via email.
Applications will open on 6 January 2025 and close on 3 February 2025 (18:00).
