Belfast City Council's Summer Scheme Grant for Children with Disabilities and/or Additional Needs helps community and voluntary organisations and special educational needs schools run summer schemes for children and young people aged 5 to 17 who have limited access to other summer provision because of their support needs. Schemes must run between July and August 2027 for at least 5 days, remove barriers to access, offer suitable programming and increase the number of additional needs summer places in Belfast. Awards are up to £10,000 per organisation in each financial year. Applications close at 12 noon on 8 January 2027.
