ESF Community Grants, funded by the European Social Fund, is a programme that aims to support small and voluntary organisations with grants of £5,000 – £20,000 for local initiatives that will move unemployed people towards employment, training, or education.
The re-opening of the Community Grant funding applications in April and May has seen new awards for 11 new projects (of which 9 in Shropshire and 2 in Herefordshire) continuing Landau’s fundamental work with partners supporting community projects in moving individuals back into employment. The range of project diversity continues from digital skill development, mental health support, financial and benefit support, and soft skills improvements reaching people within the communities who have been challenged for some time.
Landau would like to congratulate the 4 successful March applicants:
