COVID-19 Direct Emergency Response for Children and Young People Fund. The fund has a total of £5m available, before the end of March 2021, to provide an emergency response directly to children living in poverty and crisis. 

Our Chances for Children grants are, as always, targeted at improving the social and emotional wellbeing of children and young people and their capacity to engage in education and learning. However, grants will be tailored to meet the current and changing needs as the immediate, and longer-term, impact of the COVID-19 crisis becomes clear.

What are Buttle UK Chances for Children grants?
