What is it? The Young Roots grants programme aims to reconnect young people aged 13 to 25 with their heritage while developing their confidence, skills and connections with local communities. The Heritage Lottery Fund has invested £4.4bn in more than 33,000 projects across the UK.
How much is on offer? Grants of between £3,000 and £25,000 are available, and applicants are required to submit a pre-application enquiry form. This allows Young Roots to advise whether it will consider funding the project before a full application is put forward.
What will it fund? Projects applying for funding must relate to UK heritage and ideas should come from young people's interests. Priority will be given to projects that provide new opportunities for young people to learn about heritage and that develop partnerships between youth and heritage organisations. Young people are also encouraged to create and lead heritage activities and celebrate their achievements by sharing their learning with the community.
