We are working in partnership with SWEF to provide business grants of up to £2,000 to young entrepreneurs in Cheshire and Warrington, aged between 18-30.  These grants can be used on costs to support a newly formed business, including equipment, training, specific marketing costs, and product development.

This programme will grants of up to £25,000 to deliver early intervention and diversionary activities for young people at risk of involvement in Child Criminal Exploitation and Serious Youth Violence.

Three funding programmes, funding projects in Warrington, to reduce loneliness, improve confidence in skills, raise self-confidence, and increase organisational capacity. Available funds are split between Micro-Grants (up to £1,000), Project Grants (up to £15,000), and Strategic Grants (up to £30,000). Please note: We are currently only accepting applications for Micro-Grants.

In the heart of communities across the UK lies the untapped potential of countless young minds. The Building Brighter Futures Fund aims to ignite the dreams of these often-overlooked youths. It’s our belief that young people deserve every chance to create a better, fairer life for themselves.
The EMR Building Brighter Futures grants programme supports UK charities* that share that belief by funding employment, education or health and social care projects that help local young people to see and reach their full potential. The Building Brighter Futures Fund was founded in 2023 by EMR, global leader in sustainable materials. The Fund is delivered by the network of Community Foundations across the UK and is managed directly by Cheshire Community Foundation.
