£40,000 is on offer for Island voluntary and community organisations providing education and learning opportunities for adults.
The Isle of Wight Council’s Adult Community Learning Service has published a new prospectus for 2020/21 detailing the scheme.
Bids are also invited from any enterprise that will use the funding to deliver services that widen access to adult learning opportunities.
The service provides opportunities that engage adults in learning, with a focus on those who have benefited least from the formal education system.
The council requires the grant funding to deliver outcomes including:
- helping people who are disadvantaged and least likely to participate in learning;
- improving acquisition of skills which prepare people for further education, training or employment (this may include achievement of qualifications);
- developing stronger communities by promoting cultural diversity, equality of opportunity, volunteering and involvement in local decision making.
- a range of universal and targeted family learning courses and workshops supporting an early intervention and prevention model by developing resilience within families.
The prospectus provides more information about the council's expectations and can be downloaded from www.iow.gov.uk/prospectus
Rob Brindley in the council’s Adult Community Learning Service is the commissioner for this grant-making process, and can be contacted on (01983) 817280 or email [email protected]
Once organisations have read through the prospectus, they are encouraged to contact Rob and discuss their idea, and he can supply an application form.
The deadline for receipt of completed applications is 3pm, Friday 11 June 2021.
