Distributing over £300,000 in grants to support Nottinghamshire Communities

These community grants form a key component of Futures’ "Transform Your Future" project, which spans six Nottinghamshire council districts.

The project is designed to provide employability and life skills support to economically inactive adults. 

The reason behind this approach is simple: economically inactive individuals are often difficult to engage, and many have complex needs such as mental health issues, debt, or insecure housing. By partnering with local organisations already embedded in these communities, Futures ensures that support reaches those who need it most.

These organisations have established relationships with vulnerable groups, making them well-positioned to deliver vital employability services. 

Additionally, Futures recognises the importance of bolstering the capacity of the local voluntary sector, enabling these organisations to provide employment support and inclusive access to training.
