Building on the success of the 2015-16 Character Education Grants, we are making grant funding available for the 2016-17 academic year to develop new approaches or expand and evaluate existing approaches that will support children and young people to be well-rounded, confident, happy and resilient – prepared for success in adult life. A total of £6m is available. The successful bidders will deliver a programme to increase the number of young people involved in activities and environments that promote character education.
