VCSE Flexible Support Fund launch

Join us for the launch of a new £2.1 million initiative for the Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise (VCSE) sector to support young people aged 18-21 who are not in education, employment or training.

The West of England Mayoral Combined Authority VCSE Flexible Support Fund will be offering £700,000 per year – a total investment of £2.1 million over three years.

This is part of the UK Government-backed Youth Guarantee Trailblazer programme and aims to allow local VCSE organisations to design and deliver new solutions, and use your trusted relationships to provide tailored support to 1,100 young people.
