Sheila Coates Foundation - funding for autism in mainstream secondary schools/colleges in England

 

The Sheila Coates Foundation is a UK charity that funds creative, co-produced projects in schools and colleges to support the education and wellbeing of autistic students. They are gearing up to launch another England-wide round of funding at the end of the month (28th April). As before, they are looking to fund mainstream secondary schools and colleges, this time with a focus on creative and innovative solutions that will help autistic students excel, achieve, flourish and succeed. Crucially, this round will prioritise initiatives that have been co-produced with autistic students.

 

The fund opens for applications from schools and colleges on 28th April, with a deadline of 19th May 2025. Up to 100 schools or colleges will receive awards of £5,000 each. The funding is intended to support short-term solutions that can be implemented immediately. In previous rounds, 97% of participating schools reported a positive impact within just five months.

The application form will go live on the Rapid Impact Fund webpage on Monday 28th April.
