Re:vision North Limited

Re:vision North Limited, incorporated in December 2013 and registered as a charity in March 2014 with Procure Plus Holdings Limited as its sole subscriber, drives urban and rural regeneration in the North West of England, targeting areas of social and economic deprivation. Its mission focuses on relieving unemployment among economically disadvantaged groups—especially those furthest from the labour market—through sustainable employment opportunities, education, training, and retraining. Core values emphasize sustainability, social value, employer engagement, and long-term life chances, with a distinctive partnership-driven approach that integrates strategic advice, capacity building, and outcome-focused investments beyond traditional grant-making.

The funder supports projects enhancing employability, such as tailored employment preparation, work-related skills training, employer engagement models, and organisational development for frontline charities. Beneficiaries include unemployed individuals facing barriers like gender-specific challenges (e.g., Women on the Tools in construction) or unserved communities, with grants promoting meaningful, paid jobs and social value outcomes, often in partnership with employers like Arriva Group.

Eligible applicants are UK-registered charities and community groups based exclusively in the North West, particularly Greater Manchester and deprived localities; it prefers small to medium-sized organisations with proven frontline delivery track records, without strict income thresholds. Funding is invite-only on a commissioned basis—no unsolicited applications—with trustees and Procure Plus's Regeneration Team selecting partners via networks. Typical grants range from £25,000 to £100,000 for 12-month projects tied to employment outcomes, approved adhoc at periodic board meetings; no open deadlines exist.

Distinctively, Re:vision avoids capital, unrestricted, or non-employment-focused funding, prioritising a theory of change linking targeted interventions to systemic unemployment reduction, setting it apart through its tight geographic and thematic focus, employer integration, and evidence-based decisions.
