The fund, a joint investment between the National Lottery Community Fund and Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS), supports young people to access social action opportunities.

Both funders have each announced an additional £6 million taking the total investment to £66 million. The #iwill Fund distributes its investment by working in partnership with other funders to create an environment of learning and mutual collaboration.
