Unit Support grant: Opening 6th January 2025

Purpose of the funding

The funding should be spent in a way that delivers one or more of the following intended benefits:

• Increase numbers of girls from poorer socio-economic backgrounds who can access guiding

• Enable existing young members to continue to benefit from Girlguiding (keep membership stable)

• Expand our provision in deprived areas where we have no presence (increase units)

• Enable units that are struggling financially to keep operating (keep unit numbers stable)

Funding can be used for anything which will help with any of the above, including but not limited to covering 2025 subscription fees, contributing to the cost of hall rent or subsidising the cost of uniform.

Applications will need to submit the latest unit bank statement and latest approved accounts.

All successful recipients will be asked to complete an evaluation feedback report.

Unit support funding applications will open on 6th January 2025 until 31st January 2025 initially.

This grant is available thanks to funding from the Girlguiding unit support fund and will be open throughout the year until the fund is fully allocated.
