Community based work will then be able to begin from June 2024 and school funded work from the start of the 24/25 academic year. Summer 2024 - Walcot will be announcing details of our first partnership grant programme, building on our flagship BounceBack work, this will include funding for a commissioned cohort of likeminded partner organisations - watch this space for more information! October 2024 - Verbal expressions of interest open. We will be able to offer grants to fund community based projects and core funding for partners whose work fits well with our grant making priorities. These grants will be confirmed (and work can begin) from December 2024. January 2025 - Verbal expressions of interest open. We will once again be taking expressions of interest from schools, organisations that work in schools, and community based partners for work taking place in the new financial year (April 25 onwards). If you are thinking of applying in any of these rounds please first read our guidance for work in schools OR guidance for organisations working in the community. Please sign up to our newsletter to be alerted directly when rounds are due to open. For reference, the average success rate for an Expression of Interest successfully moving onto the written application stage was 55% in 2022/3. Our average approval rate for applicants that have completed a written application is 77%.
