Children Can Do


Grants of up to £3,000 available for children’s Projects

Who can apply for a Children Can Do Grant?

  • Projects which are initiated by children aged 5 to 13 who live in Brighton & Hove.
  • Projects which benefit children who have greater needs and fewer chances.
  • Projects which empower children to plan their own activities and play a central role in the funding application process.
  • We normally accept applications for projects run by small, local, community groups with an annual income of less than £25,000, However, we will also consider applications from larger, local, community groups for completely new and innovative projects that do not require more than 50% staffing costs and encourage different children to get involved.
  • Projects which help children to stay safe, be happy, have fun and do well, make positive change in their community and prepare them for their future.

We cannot support activities which promote a particular religion or political aim.

A development worker will come out to meet with the children and adults in your group to help plan the project and prepare the funding application.
A panel of children and young people will make the final decisions about which groups are funded and how much they receive.

Next closing date is 6th of February 2009
