The Thomas Wall Trust believes that communication skills are critical capabilities for people who want to improve their employment prospects, self-confidence, resilience, and life chances.
They will fund:
- A UK charity that has been registered with the Charity Commission for at least 3 years and has an annual turnover of £25,000 to £500,000
- A project for a charity that equips disadvantaged people (aged 18 and over) with the necessary communication skills ready for employment. Pro-rata staffing and operational costs will be considered if appropriate.
- Annual repeat funding for up to 3 years – subject to satisfactory annual reviews of progress and impact
We expect:
The application process is divided into two stages:
Stage one is to complete the Expression of Interest form with some basic contact details and a description of what you require funding for.
If successful, you will be invited to Stage two – Applicants will be asked to submit a Project Plan (including budget details) using the template (available to download from the website), latest set of audited financial accounts and any relevant policies.
Unsuccessful applicants will be notified by email. Please note that charities must wait for two years from the date of submission until they can reapply.
