Grants of up to €1000 are available to enable organisations to prepare the ground
for making bids for Leonardo funding.

Leonardo is a European scheme and offers grants to organisations of all sizes that
are involved in the design or delivery of training that enables people to get back
into work. Projects have to have a European dimension, and to enable smaller organisations,
and those new to European funding, in particular to take part, funding is available
for preparatory visits to meet potential working partners and construct successful
funding bids to Leonardo’s main programmes.

Application is open to local authorities, colleges, schools, voluntary organisations
and any other body involved in the design or delivery of training for work. The 
preparatory visit funding can help you construct bids to one of Leonardo’s three
main schemes: Mobility funding for work placements, and Small or Large-scale projects
to share working practice and ideas involving trainees and trainers.
