Here is another collection of funding rounds from local and national organisations focusing on disability and health themes for the Voluntary Sector.
Whilst every effort has been made to provide up-to-date information, due to the varying nature and progress of public policies and other related activity, MVA do advise that some of the details below may have changed since the time of its issue and ask that readers please check with each organisation’s website for the latest news.
Make a Change Fund from National Deaf Children’s Society
Groups of young deaf people aged between 8 and 25, that wish to deliver new and exciting projects and activities that benefit their lives and other young deaf people, can apply for funding from
The National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS).
Through their
Make a Change Fund, The NCDS advises young deaf people can bring their own ideas to life, such as improving their local area.
They also advise the funding can be used to address an issue that they and other young deaf people may face, or to push for greater inclusion.
The NCDS will also consider creative projects involving art, drama, music, film etc. and projects that tie their ideas in with school projects or youth group activities.
Groups can be a mixture of deaf and hearing young people, though The NCDS ask that a youth worker or an organisation (such as a school or youth group) must be involved to support and manage the funds.
At the time of writing, there was no specified deadline, which means applications can be accepted at any time.

information and how to apply can be found at The NCDS
