Key takeaways

Enginuity's work fits organisations involved in UK engineering and manufacturing skills, particularly apprenticeship mentoring for small and medium-sized engineering and manufacturing firms, and welding and fabrication training.
The only figure given for a grant is £1,000 for each participating business in Your Mentoring Matters, and the annual report gives no grant range, so plan any request around that scale.
No way to apply was found in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so contact the charity directly before writing a full proposal.
For Strategise to Thrive, eligible employers are allocated places on a first come, first served basis, so an early enquiry may matter for that programme.
