Question:
To ask the Minister of Education to detail when RAISE projects can expect to receive relevant funding.

Answer:

The first call for Locality Led Projects launched on 5 September and will close on 30 September 2025.

Each project proposal will be assessed, using the scoring guidance published on my department’s website, by a panel which will include officials from the Department of Education and at least one external member with experience of education or locality-based programmes.

Successful organisations will be notified after the assessment process has completed, with Letters of Offer issuing thereafter.
