Available grants

The Informal ESOL Grant Scheme will fund projects and activities that meet the aims and conditions of the Scheme. It will award of up to £10,000 per individual project. Match funding is welcome. The Scheme will run initially for two years, with the total amount of funding available being a maximum of £70,000 in the first year and a maximum of £70,000 in the second year.

Bidders are welcome to apply for funds to cover a project for two years, or for shorter term projects, with one successful application per organisation per year allowed. Providers delivering a project in the first year will be able to apply for a new grant to enable the continuation of the same project, subject to evaluation of the project together with the Refugee Integration Team at Lancashire County Council. In this case the maximum amount awarded in both years will not exceed a total of £10,000.
