Description

We are making available up to a maximum of £4.5 million in early years grant funding to VCS organisations for an 24-month period (up to £2.5m from April'23 - Mar'24 and up to £2.5m from Apr'24 - Mar'25) to help deliver activities in support of one or more of the above early years disadvantage targeted priorities.

Grants will be awarded across each of these two priority themes. The exact number and size of individual grants will depend on the range and quality of bids received but we are expecting to award fewer grants than in previous rounds.

VCS organisations may submit bids related to one or more priority area but no more than two applications per organisation. A separate application form must be completed for each priority area.
