National Lottery – The #iwill Fund is back!
This funding is for projects that help young people in England take part in place-based youth social action. By place-based youth social action, they mean young people playing an active role in addressing the issues of a specific place or area that matter most to local people.
The National Lottery are particularly interested in projects that include young people from low-income communities.
In your application, you must show how your project:
- creates place-based youth social action opportunities for young people
- will help young people get involved in social action. This should be throughout their life, even after the funding ends.
- will reach young people who have not taken part in regular social action activities
- will continue, even after the funding ends
- involves the voices of young people. They should also be a part of your organisation.
- We expect projects to support young people aged up to 20, or up to 25 for those with additional support needs.
