creation, financial education and financial inclusion. Grants will be in the range
of £1000/€1000 to £35,000/€40,000 and will be awarded in the first half of 2013.

The Fund will support local, regional and national projects that provide support

This category will support projects that increase local entrepreneurship through
education programmes, confidence building and/or skill development activities which
enable re-employment or social enterprise.

2.      **Financial Education/Inclusion Support**

This category will support projects which increase the financial capability of individuals
and groups through the provision of financial education workshops, services or support.
It will also support financial inclusion projects aimed at improving access to financial
services for those currently financially excluded.
