What it is: The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund has launched grants aimed at organisations providing services or advocacy for young refugees. The project is run by the fund's Refugee and Asylum Seekers Initiative, which wants to change policy to meet international standards on children's rights.
How much is on offer: The amount awarded will depend on the needs and length of each scheme. The minimum amount that can be applied for is £3,000 but most grants are expected to be around £50,000. The fund plans to give out 20 grants.
What it will fund: The money is available for organisations to build support for young refugees and help the groups to provide advocacy at a local level.
Who can apply: The fund is open to any impartial, legal, community or not-for-profit organisation, charity or company in the UK that is working with children and young people under 21 who are refugees or seeking asylum.
Who it has funded: The Children's Society and Bail for Immigration Detainees each received £1.25m from The Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund to work together to end the immigration detention of children in the UK within three years. The money is being used to build on the work of groups and organisations that have been campaigning independently to bring an end to the detention of children.
How to apply: There is a two-stage application process. An application form must be completed by 12 September. Stage two is a more detailed application form for projects that pass the first stage. The fund plans to let people know by mid-October whether they will go through to the second stage. Visit www.theworkcontinues.org for further details.
