Assessment Criteria

In their Charity Partner assessments, they will consider the current work of the organisation in providing accommodation and support to vulnerable young people, and the ability to monitor and provide evidence of the impact of this work. They are interested to hear about future plans to renovate or build living accommodation over the next two years. They aim to have several Charity Partners located in each UK nation and region.

In their project funding assessments, they will be looking at the proposal for renovated or new accommodation for young people, and demonstration that the project is needed and financially viable (the building work itself and the accommodation project when young people are living there). They will look at the building work costs, they are seeking Value for Money per bed space. They will consider renovations that cost up to £15,000 per bed space, where that cost covers the bed space and a related proportion of communal areas. They will consider costs for new buildings on a case by case basis.
