NatWest's Skills and Opportunities Fund has committed £2.5m to fund projects in charities, social enterprises, community groups, state-funded schools and colleges across the UK and Ireland. The focus for this funding is to support organisations that help people in disadvantaged communities develop, create or access the skills and opportunities they need to help themselves; skills that will enable them to get into work or start a business, now or in the future.
Grants are for projects that change the lives of the UK's most vulnerable families and children for the better: Improving the quality of life of older people; Making life better for people with disabilities.
