SCVYS Staffordshire Council of Voluntary Youth Services
At a glance
Key takeaways
- SCVYS is a good fit only if your group is a voluntary organisation that works with children, young people or families and is based in the Local Government area of Staffordshire, because the funder does not fund applicants outside those terms.
- Its grants must also benefit children, young people and families, so a project serving other groups is unlikely to qualify.
- The annual report shows £1,200 awarded in total, split into Start Up Grants of £900 and Crisis Grants of £300, so a modest request suits its scale.
- No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so contact the shown contact to ask how to apply.
- Its published material does not say how competitive its grants are or when they are made, so ask about timing directly.
