Community Short Breaks - Children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Proposals

Tender description

This opportunity is grant funding for local businesses, voluntary organisations and community groups who can support in the creation of children and young people's community short break sufficiency. The deadline for applications is Friday 16th February at 5pm. Are you a service provider/ community group or voluntary organisation working across the Wigan Borough and with an additional small funding opportunity, could create or grow a community group/activity or service for Wigan’s children with additional needs and/or disability? If so, we would like to hear from you. Wigan Council Children’s Services are looking to support groups or service providers with a ring-fenced round of small investment funding for creation of children and young people’s community short break sufficiency. The dedicated fund will aim to increase local community inclusive short break provision by creating additional opportunities for children and young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) as well as utilise and improve community spaces that matter most. It is important the projects that are successful in receiving one off creation funding demonstrate sustainability and impact on the community. We want to invest locally with ethical service providers and create opportunity for smaller Voluntary Community Faith & Social Enterprise (VCFSE) to be part of a partnership alliance of local service provision for children and young people with SEND. The deadline for applications is Friday 16th February at 5pm.
