BBC Children in Need Grants Information Session - Cookstown

BBC Children in Need is holding information sessions on our grants programmes in Strabane, Cookstown and Ballymena in April 2017.

BBC Children in Need’s vision is that every child has a safe, happy and secure childhood, and the chance to reach their potential.  We want to realise this vision by supporting organisations that address the challenges that disadvantaged children and young people face.

BBC Children in Need funds almost 200 projects in cities, towns and villages all over Northern Ireland with grants of over £9m. These are projects working with children and young people who need support in order to get the best out of life. They may be sick or living in poverty. They may have been abused or neglected, or have a disability, or be dealing with other challenges that the groups we fund can help them to overcome.

This year, because of the generosity of everyone who donates to the charity, over £4m will be spent on projects working with disadvantaged children and young people here in Northern Ireland. We want to ensure that everyone who is involved in this work, no matter how small your project, knows about the opportunity to secure funding.

BBC Children in Need is hosting outreach sessions in Strabane, Cookstown and Ballymena in April 2017 to encourage new applications and to explain how our grant strategy works out in practice.

For small grants of less than £10,000 we are basically open all year round with 4 decision dates and a turnaround period of 2 months. Applicants can also now apply for small grants for up to three years. For main grants of more than £10,000 there are 3 closing dates in the year and it is a 2-stage process, taking 5 months to complete. All of our funding is focused on the outcomes for children and young people you hope to achieve through your project.

We would like to explain our approach to you in more detail, and give you a chance to talk specifically about your project to one of our staff. If you would like to attend the funding information session at the Burnavon Centre in Cookstown on Friday 7th April please get in touch with Dominic O'Neill – dominic.o'[email protected] / 028 9033 8221
