Closing Date: 24/09/2025
Up to six grants are available for not-for-profit projects in England that help young people (aged up to 20 years, or up to 25 years for those with additional support needs), particularly from low-income communities, take part in place-based youth social action.
The funding is for projects that help young people to take part in place-based youth social action. This could include activities like volunteering, mentoring or improving local environments.
Social action opportunities should:
- Be led by young people
- Be challenging
- Have social impact
- Help young people take part in other opportunities
- Be a regular and meaningful part of a young person’s life
- Encourage young people to reflect on what they have achieved
Projects must:
- Create place-based youth social action opportunities for young people
- Help young people get involved in social action throughout their life
- Reach young people who have not taken part in regular social action activities
- Continue, even after the funding ends
- Involve the voices of young people who should be a part of the applicant organisation.
- Support young people aged up to 20, or up to 25 for those with additional support needs.
