The foundation focuses its work on four areas: young parents or those at risk of becoming young parents; young asylum seekers; young people with mental health problems; and young disabled people.
Who can apply? This programme looks to support small- to medium-sized organisations working in the above four fields that have imaginative, distinctive and innovative ideas for engaging young people in community life. It will only fund work with 11- to 25-year-olds and work must be a new project or a substantial development of an existing project - it won't just fund ongoing work. Recent grant-holders include Manchester-based mental health project 42nd Street, which received 90,000 to develop work with young disabled people with mental health problems, including an outreach service and support for young people developing their own social support networks. Youth development charity Youth at Risk received 85,000 to implement its performance coaching programme in a residential crisis recovery unit in north London, helping young people to re-engage with the community.
