Funding for Educational or Vocational Projects to Improve the Lives of Young People Across the UK

The Sofronie Foundation is providing funding opportunities for registered charities and not-for-profit organisations throughout the UK. The focus is on projects that help young people build essential skills for employment or improve their access to higher education.

Funding Priorities

Grants will support interventions that:

• Increase access to higher education through:
  • Educational programmes that raise aspirations
  • Activities that build confidence and develop skills for university readiness
• Increase access to vocational training through:
  • Initiatives that equip young people with practical, job-related skills
  • Opportunities for work experience and employment preparation

Eligible Costs

Funding can be used to cover all project delivery costs, including staffing and operational expenses necessary to run the initiative.

Application Information

Applications can be submitted at any time. There are no fixed deadlines, allowing organisations to apply when their projects are ready for development or expansion.

This opportunity is ideal for organisations committed to supporting youth development, particularly in the areas of education and employability.
