How to Apply for ACL Funding to Deliver Learning
We are keen to encourage the involvement of a wide range of organisations who can deliver all kinds of learning opportunities for adults. It could be anything from Art to Yoga but we are particularly interested in learning that targets learners from people currently under-represented in learning.
Organisations should be able to demonstrate that they have identified a learning need within their community and are able to deliver high quality learning to adults who reside in the county regardless of race, gender, ethnicity or physical or sensory ability.
We understand that many smaller community or voluntary groups may be in the early stages of developing their Quality Assurance systems therefore we will support them in building this capacity.
If you as a community, voluntary or any non profit making group feel you have identified a learning need and are willing to work with us to ensure the delivery of high quality learning, you need to complete the following steps to apply for ACL funding:
