Our response to C-19 and its impact on our target groups:
the Walcot BounceBack programme

Our target groups are Lambeth citizens, under 30, whose life chances are affected by low income. Our grants fund work designed to achieve whole-life improvement, building on their potential and helping them gain properly paid employment. The Covid-19 pandemic has made matters worse. In response, we've developed a new programme aimed at helping.

Programme aim  
Our BounceBack programme has been designed to help low-income Lambeth residents under the age of 30 find paid work. It is our major, Phase Two response to the impact of the pandemic.  It will run for two years (2021-2023). We are funding it with £2 million. This is on top of our usual grants programmes.

The programme is focused on those who (a) have been displaced from employment because of the Covid-19 pandemic and (b) those who are coming new to the jobs market and have found their opportunities narrowed by the pandemic’s effect on the wider labour market.

Target beneficiaries 
The programme is aimed at unemployed and underemployed under-30 Lambeth residents from low-income backgrounds .

Grants available 
We shall be making grants of up to £50,000 a year for two years (a total of £100,000) to qualifying organisations.  Applications are made via our on-line form and the closing date is
5pm 12 April 2021.  For more details, please read our Application Guidance.
