Name Act for Change Together
Funder Act for Change Fund
Act for Change Together is a new youth-led festival that celebrates and showcases changemaking, influencing and campaigning by young people who have lived experience of inequality and injustices.
The festival is two things: both a live event – it ran this year from 26-31 July – and an ongoing digital resource of unique and exciting online masterclasses, panels and a podcast. Across the 28 individual events produced by young people, youth changemakers open up conversations and offer practical solutions about care, migration, mental health, gender equality, disability, race, LGBTQIA+ rights and more.
Act for Change Together comes out of the combined drive and passion of more than 120 young people at 32 organisations across the UK who are supported by Act for Change Fund. The fund is a joint initiative between Paul Hamlyn Foundation and Esmée Fairbairn Foundation, working in partnership with the #iwill Fund (a joint investment between The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport). Both foundations are acting as match-funders and awarded grants on behalf of the #iwill Fund.
