The three-year, unrestricted grants are being offered through a £5m cost-of-living fund set up by UK Youth and backed by grant maker the Pears Foundation.

It is open to organisations with an annual income of no more than £500,000.

“The fund has been launched as the UK faces the worst cost-of-living crisis since the 1950s, with young people facing a bleak future without additional support,” said UK Youth.

“The fund aims to ensure that as many vital youth services as possible are able to keep the lights on and support young people in their local community. If forced to shut down, these services may never return.”
