The funding, taken from the Foundation’s £1.73m Infrastructure Resilience Fund, will be split between the Traveller Movement and YMCA George Williams College.
It comes following research by the Traveller Movement which examined the extent to which systemic racism in the classroom, the youth sector, and the workplace significantly hinders economic inclusion for young GRT people.
The organisation will use the funding to “bring together public and private youth sectors, employers, and the GRT charitable sector to build pathways to employment for young people” through its Reaching Out project.
YMCA George Williams College plans to use its infrastructure funding to review existing data collection practice and offer insight into how opportunities for young people from the GRT communities can be developed.
