The Henry Smith Foundation : Early Years Parenting Support.

The Early Years Parenting Fund will support organisations with grants of £56,250 per year for four years (£225,000 total) that improve the development of children most at risk of poor early childhood outcomes, by investing in effective, culturally grounded parenting support.

They support work that makes a clear contribution to children’s physical health, social and emotional development, and cognitive development in the first five years of life.

The fund is focusing on communities where outcome gaps are largest. We aim to fund organisations that are trusted by the communities they serve and that can evidence the difference their work makes.

Your organisation will:

• Work closely with parents with children aged newborn to five from Black (Caribbean or African, Any Other Black), Pakistani, and Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities

and / or

• Work with parents with children aged newborn to five living in areas ranked within the most deprived 20% nationally (using the relevant national deprivation index for the location of your work)
