Organisations working in a partnership

We’ll only fund projects where a partnership of organisations works together to plan and deliver a project.

Collectively, your partnership will have the right expertise and experience to prepare and support young people for green careers.

This includes helping them to:

  • develop confidence and emotional skills

  • gain work experience

  • do work placements

Relevant organisations may include those that are specialists in:

  • supporting young people from ethnically minoritised communities

  • employment work placements

  • skills development and training. This could include formal qualifications and support with developing their confidence and emotional wellbeing

  • employers that offer green jobs

We’ll also look for organisations that are:

  • well-connected with the community with other services and employers

  • working in the green economy and have specialist knowledge

  • able to undertake research and evaluate your project experienced in marketing, communications, policy making and influencing

  • provide specialist services which would complement or support your project such as mental health services, housing and probation services

Partner organisations are welcome from all sectors and can be organisations that work locally, regionally or across Wales.

Your lead organisation

You will need to have one lead organisation who submits the application on behalf of the partnership. They must be a UK-based:

  • registered charity

  • voluntary or community organisation

  • charitable incorporated organisation (CIO)

  • co-operative society (if it has a not-for-profit clause)

  • company limited by guarantee (if it has a not-for-profit clause)

  • community interest company (CIC) community benefit society 

If we decide to fund your project, the lead organisation will:

  • be our main contact

  • ensure the project and its partners meet our terms and conditions

  • give us progress updates

  • work with us any issues related to the project

  • receive payment on behalf of the partnership

You need at least 3 board or committee members who are aged 18 years or over and are not related.

Related can mean:

  • related by marriage

  • in a civil partnership with each other

  • in a long-term relationship with each other

  • related through a long-term partner living together at the same address

  • related by blood

All companies that apply must have at least three directors who are not related in any of these ways. This applies to companies that are also registered as charities.

Partnership agreement

We ask for partnership agreements from those that will help manage the project or use our grant to deliver the project.

You can use our partnership agreement template (PDF, 224 KB).

You must also tell us about other organisations who may be involved in other ways such as organisations that you can refer or accept referrals from.

Who cannot apply

We cannot accept applications when the lead applicant is:

  • an individual or sole trader

  • a profit-making group applying on behalf of another organisation

  • an organisation not established in the UK
