Summary
The Rehabilitation Grants Scheme is a £3 million initiative running from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029. It aims to fund projects that support rehabilitation outcomes across public sector prisons, probation services, and the youth custody estate. Grants will be awarded through a fair and transparent competition, with individual awards ranging from £50,000 to £150,000 per financial year. Projects may span from 6 months to 3 years and must align with HMPPS’s rehabilitation strategy and ministerial priorities, contributing to reduced reoffending and improved public protection. We are committed to working in partnership with VCSE organisations to shape a future where rehabilitation support is responsive, effective, and grounded in lived experience.
Please note that the competition of this grant scheme will run in parallel with the Commissioned Rehabilitative Services (CRC) contracts for Men's Rehabilitative Services. These are two separate funding opportunities with the different timelines and processes.
Eligibility
The grant scheme is for Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises.
