Launch Event: GLLEP Employment & Skills ESF Grant Programme

The Greater Lincolnshire LEP Employment & Skills ESF Grant Programme is funded by the European Social Fund and available to third sector and other small organisations who meet the eligibility criteria. Grants are available up to a maximum of £20,000 per project.

Preference will be given to projects which support people who are long-term unemployed (although any length of unemployment is permitted) or who are distant from the labour market and face multiple disadvantages and profound barriers to work.

Projects will help participants to move towards or into employment or into learning.

 

Launch Event

Come and find out more at the launch event on the 9th January 2020 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. Book your place here

 

What sorts of projects will be awarded a grant?

Applications are particularly welcomed if they are new, innovative or offer something specific to a particular local area or cohort and don’t replicate what is already available in Greater Lincolnshire.

Eligibility: Initially applications will be invited from organisations and groups that employ less than 49 staff –  FTE (full time equivalent), and with a turnover of under £5 million p.a.

All delivery needs to take place within Greater Lincolnshire.

Grants can deliver a wide range of activities including but not limited to:

– First contact engagement activities

– Basic skills support

– Projects to improve confidence, motivation and social integration

– Developing local networks and groups

– Softer skills development

– Innovative approaches to attract under-represented groups. Priority groups include participants:

– Over 50 years of age

– With disabilities

– From ethnic minorities

– Who are women

The Employment & Skills Grants are a capped programme and will therefore only be issued to eligible initiatives whilst funds are still available.

The application process
