Since 1949, The Triangle Trust has supported hundreds of charities and community organisations working with carers, community arts, education, disability, older people, poverty and rehabilitation.
The 2024 rounds will focus on funding for organisations working with vulnerable young women and girls who have been in the criminal justice system, or who are at a high risk of entering it.
Only organisations led by and for women and girls are eligible to apply for the Spring 2024 round.
Registered charities, not-for-profit social enterprises and community interest companies that are working within the UK and have a UK office can apply for up to £40,000 per year over two years.
The funding is designed to support projects working directly with young people and the criminal justice system. Applicants must demonstrate significant expertise working with vulnerable and challenging young women and girls.
Although the Trust does not solely support an organisation's running costs, it will consider reasonable contributions to the running of the organisation as part of the overall project budget.
Most of the funding is likely to be allocated to organisations who are building on existing work, either by increasing their capacity or developing a criminal justice focused programme.
To be eligible, applicants must:
- Have previous experience of working with vulnerable young women or girls either on the edge of the criminal justice system or who already have criminal convictions.
- Be requesting funding for a project working exclusively with young women and girls.
- Work solely with women and girls.
- Have a proven track record of running projects working with young women and girls that is both gender and trauma informed.
- Be proposing a project with targets that are specifically linked to either reducing the number of young women or girls who reoffend or reduce the number of young women and girls who receive a first conviction.
- Have an average annual income over the past three years of less than £1.5 million.
- Be a registered charity or an organisation set up with a clear social purpose and appropriate governing documents stating this.
How to apply:
- Stage one is to complete the online application form on the Triangle Trust website.
- Stage two will involve a visit from the Trust's Director to the shortlisted applicants (usually between six and eight organisations).
