Leading housing association Sovereign is working with crowdfunding platform Crowdfunder to invest in employment and training projects.
Groups and charities that have a focus on these projects and are based within three miles of Sovereign homes in the South and South West of England can apply for a share of £100k to boost the fundraising they’ve already done.
Sovereign is particularly interested in projects that focus on supporting people to upskill, access training, find work or better work, or self-employment opportunities.
Sovereign Housing Association will invest nearly half a million pounds over the next two years in giving young people a voice in their housing and community future.
The housing association, which has homes across the south of England, will receive £225,250 in funding from the #iwill Fund, a £54 million joint investment from The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) – and will invest the same itself – meaning that nearly half a million pounds will go towards encouraging youth participation.
