UK Youth Fund: supporting smaller youth organisations
Closing date
The UK Youth Fund aims to strengthen the financial resilience and organisational capacity of smaller grassroots Youth groups and outdoor learning organisations so they can continue delivering safe, dependable and inclusive youth provision. It is intended for organisations working with young people, particularly in under-resourced communities, and prioritises those delivering services in eligible areas across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
Eligible applicants include charitable organisations, not-for-profits and CICs with turnover below £500,000, at least two years’ operating history, and a primary purpose of benefiting young people, with at least 70% of beneficiaries aged 8 to 25. Grants are worth up to 10% of annual turnover over three years. Funding can support:
- core and staffing costs
- general youth work delivery
- basic necessities for young people
- training, development and sustainability work.
