The Princess Royal Trust for Carers is seeking to support Northern Ireland organisations providing services for young carers.
Following on from the success of the first Young Carers Grant Programme, the second round of funding will continue to prioritise high quality support to the most vulnerable young carers by identifying projects for those who are hard to reach such as young carers who are hidden due to stigma attached to the person they are caring for; or are from under represented communities such as ethnic minority or refugee communities.
Applications for grants up to £70,000 over three years will be considered by a decision making panel, made up of members of The Trust and Comic Relief, together with representatives from other voluntary sector organisations.
The two stage application grant programme will be open to all registered charities and registered charitable organisations throughout the UK, and will continue to provide funding for projects that are providing services or activities for young carers. However, the new funding will be more tightly focused on delivering work against specific programme outcomes related to positive change for young carers.
Stage one Expressions of Interest closes 5.00pm 14 December 2007.
The funding programme will also offer all those interested in funding the opportunity to attend regional and on-line based training.
This training will focus on transferable project planning skills which will cover establishing need, defining and measuring outcomes and learning from work.
The training will be held at 11.00am to 1.30pm, Thursday, 29 November 2007 at the Northern Ireland Council for Voluntary Action (NICVA), 61 Duncairn Gardens, Belfast, BT15 2GB. Please contact us at the number below if you are interested in attending.
