Social Mobility Fund

More about the funded projects

EN:Able Communities ran The Social Mobility Fund grant scheme to channel £50k funding in to projects that aimed to improve Social Mobility in the communities of Efficiency North's social housing landlord membership across Yorkshire and Humber in 2019/2020.

The 7 projects we backed used the funding grant to help people of all ages from disadvantaged backgrounds achieve their potential through training and employment programmes.  Some also undertook other activities, such as improving community assets or facilitating access to a service in a traditionally deprived area.

The Social Mobility Fund followed the Community Investment Fund, which ran from 2015 to 2018.
