Closing date:15/07/2010 BBC Children in Need - quarterly deadline - BBC Children in Need The Children in Need Trust seeks to improve the quality of life for children and young people of 18 yrs and under who are disadvantaged. Grants are available for under £10,000 (small grants) and over £10,000 (main grants).
The BBC Children in Need Appeal is the most important single event in the BBC calendar and the only occasion when the whole of the BBC joins together in support of a single project on TV, radio and online.
The Appeal gives grants to organisations working with disadvantaged children and young people who must be aged 18 years and under, living in the United Kingdom.
Their disadvantages will include:
* Illness, distress, abuse or neglect
* Any kind of disability
* Behavioural or psychological problems
* Living in poverty or situations of deprivation
The application should demonstrate how your project will change the lives of children for the better. It should be entirely focused on children. Where possible and appropriate it should take into account children's views and involve them in decision making.
Applications are welcomed from properly constituted not-for-profit organisations.
These may be:
* Self-help groups
* Voluntary organisations
* Registered charities
Organisations may hold only one grant at a time from the BBC Children in Need Appeal. This includes organisations with dependent branches. They require applicant organisations to have a written Child Protection Policy.
Organisations apply to them for a wide range of grants. The purpose and amount can vary enormously. From their experience they think that the following information might help an organisation to make a more effective application for a grant. During the assessment of your application they will want to know more about:
* How your project was planned and what it hopes to achieve for children
* The child protection measures that are in operation
* The basis for costing equipment, services or activities
* Job description/s, person specification/s and expected salary level/s
* The timing of other decisions with regards to multi-funding or complex projects
They are committed to making sure their grants bring about changes for the better in children's lives and they want to support work that can do this.
How to Apply
New deadlines have been announced and the big change is that all applications must be completed ONLINE. They will not accept any applications in writing and applicants are encouraged to submit supporting materials electronically wherever possible. Children in Need will do everything they can to signpost smaller groups to local points where they can obtain support and practical assistance should they have difficulty with online applications.
