Reading Borough Council is now seeking a provider that could help design and implement a set of social and educational support activities, which are intended for around 40 Ukrainian children aged 11+ who have arrived in Reading under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. This will also include those who have come through the Ukraine Family scheme and the unaccompanied minors under the expanded Homes for Ukraine scheme.

Young people aged 11+ from Ukraine require a specific service to help them integrate into their new life in the UK. Most of them are yet to start school, leaving them with little or no social options during the long summer. These families tend to have limited income and are unable to take up social activities.

What are the funding Conditions:
  • To provide a six-week set of social and educational support activities that take into account all the needs of Ukrainians aged 11+ who have newly settled in Reading,
  • The funding should be spent within 3 months of the award,
  • Successful applicant is required to submit an end-of-project report,
  • Organisation/service granted the funding will be required to promote the offer on the Reading Services Guide via the Family Information Service or contact fis@reading.gov.uk, and will also be required to independently promote and raise awareness of the offer through their own website and other social media channels.
How much can you apply for?

The estimated project cost is up to £15,000.

How to apply?

Applications should be sent through email at Vicky.Rhodes@brighterfuturesforchildren.org using the grant Ukraine Support Fund – Grant Application Form .

Is there a deadline?
  • The program is expected to run for 6 weeks from the end of August or the beginning of September to October.
  • Deadline for submission of proposals is 25 August 2022.
