Allchurches Trust [Alliance member] has launched a new grants programme – Growing Lives – aimed at helping churches and Christian organisations throughout the UK and Ireland to connect with children and young people and forge lasting links with families in their local area.
Grants of up to £25,000 are available, and the amount you receive will depend upon the cost of your project and level of need in your community, ranging from 10% of project cost through to 80%. You can apply for funding under the Growing Lives programme even if you have received a grant from Allchurches Trust within the last two years.
Many churches of all denominations and Christian organisations are already running innovative, impactful projects that are helping young people to explore and grow in faith, get active, access training and work opportunities, develop life and leadership skills and feel less isolated. Others are running major social action initiatives in some of our most disadvantaged neighbourhoods.
