• Contribute towards the prevention of SUDC 

• Accelerate the change which will enable children to live with a reduced risk of SUDC  

We provide grants of up to £250,000 for projects of up to 3 years, but also welcome applications for smaller projects and co-funding.

Please be realistic and request a level and duration of funding that is appropriate to your proposed activities.
