Learning and Skills Fund /CPCA/ Deadline 1st May

Learning and Skills Fund

The Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority Skills Committee has approved further funding to enable third sector organisations to support Cambridgeshire residents to access learning and skills training. The objective is to support adults experiencing disadvantage who may find it difficult to access learning and training, and to motivate and help them towards beneficial onward progress.

Projects are encouraged to facilitate routes for participants to undertake further learning or skills development through one or more of the CPCA funded learning organisations. To that end, applicants will need to reference which of these providers they are working with already or would be able to work with by the end of the project. The CPCA will provide support to help build such relationships with adult learning providers. 

Who can apply?

Local voluntary and community sector organisations which meet CCF requirements. Organisations which are already in receipt of funding from the Adult Education Budget are not eligible.

Who can benefit?

Project participants must be aged 19 years or over and be living in Cambridgeshire (this includes Peterborough) with an eligible residency status.

How much funding is available?

The total funding available is around £200,000 and applicants may apply for funding between £5,000 to £25,000. We are looking for a broad selection of projects and would encourage smaller bids as well as larger. For reference we do not expect to be able to fund more than four or five projects at the higher end of the grant range, and applicants requesting larger amounts will need to demonstrate greater experience of delivering learning and engagement work.
