The DM Thomas Foundation for Young People is offering a final Giveaway this year, having granted over £50,000 local Giveaway grants this year.
The December Giveaway is open to charities and registered community organisations across the UK and Ireland working with disadvantaged young people on youth employability projects. Eligible organisations can apply for any amount up to and including £5,000.
The focus of the Foundation, formerly known as Hilton in the Community Foundation, is ‘ABLE’, in that it helps young people to “Achieve it, Beat it, Live it and Experience it”.
The emphasis on employability in this Giveaway will continue into 2016 when it becomes the Foundation’s central theme, following on from its years of support for training programmes and into-work schemes. This month’s Giveaway is designed to highlight this new focus.
