Resources: Funding Focus - Transforming Lives

What will it fund? In particular, creative and risk-taking projects that challenge the kind of hurtful comments and verbal and physical abuse that gets directed towards disabled young people and projects that deal with the stigma of mental health. Also targeted for support are young people-led projects that allow marginalised groups, including young exiles and young parents, to express themselves. This includes groups that influence and challenge some of negative attitudes of other young people and some of the negative publicity they routinely receive themselves. Funding can be for project costs including salaries and management costs and evaluation and dissemination activity. It won't cover capital projects, academic research not linked to a development project or well-established or routine approaches.
