Space2Grow #34 – 2024 Training and Development Micro Fund
Thanks to a further generous donation of £3,000 from All Aboard Charity Shops, Young Barnet Foundation were able to offer further round of Micro Grant funding for Training & Development in 2024.
​
As part of Young Barnet Foundation’s core mission to support and build capacity within the Children and Young Peoples Voluntary Sector within the London Borough of Barnet, Space2Grow#34 – Micro Round was aimed at supporting Young Barnet Foundation members to deliver Training & Development to their staff and / or trustees. Organisations were required to have a turnover of £250,000 or less in the most recent financial year.
The maximum grant size was £250 and the grant was to be used to pay towards the delivery of Training or Development opportunities via an appropriate provider of such training. The proposed training needed to contribute to the organisations core Charitable objectives, and demonstrate the ability to either support existing provision or build the capacity of the organisation. This included Continuing Professional Development to enable staff to maintain existing accreditations or qualifications.
The round did not have an independent funding panel. The grants officer reviewed applications on a periodic basis to ensure minimum requirements are met before getting awards signed off by a trustee.
