The Horner Foundation
Deadline: 06/05/2024
Location: Corby & Kettering
Grant Amount: £40,000
Project Type: Health & Wellbeing
Northamptonshire Community Foundation is pleased to help promote the launch of The Horner Foundation Awards for the towns of Corby and Kettering, Northamptonshire, 2024-26.
Strategy: The intention of this funding stream is to focus work in the Towns of Corby and Kettering in order to improve outcomes for young people and young mums. Existing programs and services already working in these towns, as well as other organisations looking to expand their reach into these under-resourced regions are encouraged to apply. Projects should be well rooted in community need, with an emphasis on service user feedback informing and refining the service models. It is the hope, through this strategic funding, that Corby & Kettering will be models of sexual health & antenatal education deeply rooted in the community. If you match the criteria listed below, get in touch with our Grants Manager, Alex Rex, via alex@ncf.uk.com
Types of programmes that should apply:
- Charitable organisations working with under-served youth aged 11-25
- Organisations working in the Towns of Corby & Kettering, Northamptonshire
- Organisations already working in these areas, or wishing to expand services into Corby and/or Kettering
- All successful grants will be required to monitor outcomes in a specific way, so that data can be compared for the region
Two Funding Focuses:
- Sexual Health & Education for Young People
- Health, Education & Social Supports for Young Mums
Example projects may include, but are not limited to:
- Prevention: Pregnancy education, sexual education
- Support: Antenatal and parenting education
- Education: Sexual and reproductive health workshops to help individuals make the best choices for sexual wellness
- Gender equity and education, with a focus on people of all genders, orientations, identities and abilities
In 2024, there will not be a Letter of Intent process. Instead, eligible applicants who contact Northamptonshire Community Foundation’s Grants Team via alex@ncf.uk.com will be invited to attend a webinar on Tuesday 7th May 9:30-11:00am. Following this, the Foundation will reach out to selected organisations to invite them to apply in early June.
The Northamptonshire Hidden Needs Report, published in 2023, highlights urgent needs across the county and may be a useful reference.
Grant awards from the Horner Fund are intended for a period of two years with a grant range of £32,000 to £40,000 over the two years. Project and capital funding are eligible.
