The grant helps ensure that the refreshed Child Poverty Strategy is developed with people from households and communities where children are living in poverty.
The community engagement grant is available to third sector, community groups or organisations which specialise in supporting, engaging or working with people with protected characteristics. This is to engage with children and young people and/or parents/carers, families and communities and gain their views for the new Child Poverty Strategy.
Funding of up to a maximum of £4,995 is available for each grant applicant. While a minimum of 2 engagement events is required, we would expect applications offering only 2 events not to require lower costs. £4,995 is the maximum funding available and anticipate applications for the minimum number of events should have lower related costs.
