We are delighted to launch Future Skills - the latest phase of National Grid's Community Matters Fund, committed to supporting key groups that would most benefit from assistance to enter the world of work, including : youth (16-25, not in full time education), people from ethnic minority backgrounds, those with health conditions or disabilities, armed forces veterans, ex-offenders and those returning to work after a long term absence.

Funding is available for organisations based in and running projects in the East Midlands, West Midlands, South Wales, and Southwest England. The location of your group and project will be asked as part of the application process so we urge you to check if your application will be eligible before you begin the process by entering the relevant postcodes below.

If your project location is spread over a wider area you can select a specific postcode within that larger area but please note that we may ask about this in project monitoring forms should your application be successful.
