ESSENTIAL Criteria

Your project bid must:

 

-       Demonstrate how it contributes to at least one of the aims of the Windrush Day Grant Scheme as set out in the Guidance for Applicants.

-       Include a lead event or activity on National Windrush Day, 22 June 2023, which coincides with the 75th anniversary celebrations of the arrival of the MV Empire Windrush to the UK. All further events and activities must take place within the 10-week period of 8 June 2023 to 31 August 2023. Project events and activities taking place after 22 June 2023 must do one or more of the following: 


o   Clearly demonstrate how a proposal can help build community cohesion between people of different age groups and ethnic backgrounds.

o   Have a lasting social impact beyond the funding period.

o   Help develop the educational and entrepreneurial skills of young people across this period.

-       Subject to the relevant tier of funding applied for, seek no less than £5000 and no more than £50,000 and provide details of other funding secured.


-       Be based in England or Northern Ireland.

-       Meet all relevant criteria as set out in the Guidance for Applicants.

-       Not make a profit from activities. Funding should not be used to cover the day-to-day costs of running an organisation. Organisations should be mindful of the staffing costs associated with their project and make efforts to limit how much of their allocated grant funding is used for this purpose.

DESIRABLE Criteria

We encourage applications from outside Greater London and the South East, so that Windrush Day builds a good profile throughout all regions in England and Northern Ireland.

Local Authorities

Where proposals are led by local authorities, we will be looking for a clear demonstration that the proposal has been developed with the UK Caribbean community and local community organisations.

About Your Project

Finance

The Department reserves the right to award projects partial funding, i.e. an amount that is less than the amount requested.

Grant funds cannot be used for work that has already taken place. Funding can only be used for work/items that takes place after confirmation of receiving grant funding and subject to due diligence checks.

 

While we encourage you to be ambitious on sourcing match funding contributions for your project, match funding is not needed in order to be eligible for the scheme. Match funding can include in-kind support.

Additional Funding
Example: Hall hire – 8 hours, £100 per hour (£100 x 8) = £800.00
