    Brief

    Essex County Council is launching the Families First Neighbourhood Grants Programme to fund voluntary and community sector organisations delivering targeted early intervention support for children, young people, and families in their local neighbourhoods. This four-year programme (2026-2029) aims to help families address challenges early, build resilience, and achieve positive, sustainable outcomes. Eligible organisations should demonstrate how their project will contribute to at least one of six key outcomes: establishing safe, stable home routines; increasing parental capacity and understanding of child development; fostering healthy and emotionally secure relationships; strengthening community connections and reducing isolation; improving emotional wellbeing and resilience; or reducing the need for statutory or specialist services. This is a competitive grants programme subject to completion of Essex County Council's internal governance. Interested voluntary and community sector organisations should contact Patrick.Kielty@essex.gov.uk for further details.
