Supporting young people to fulfil their potential
Making grants
of £2 million every year
Working across the South of England
A funder, we seek to bring lasting change to the lives of young people aged 14-25 facing challenge, to enable them to make a positive transition to adulthood. We build partnerships with organisations who put young people at the centre of their work.
We provide unrestricted multi-year funding to exceptional youth charities who give young people a meaningful voice. We believe that trusting relationships, and learning through listening and responding to feedback, are essential components of social change. We try to model these values in the way we work with our funding partners.
Our regional funding supports charities based in, and benefiting, young people in Berkshire, Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Sussex and Wiltshire. Occasionally we fund national charities that have a unique role to fill influencing policy and driving system change.
We do everything we can to support – and increase – the effectiveness of the organisations that we fund, and we hold ourselves to high standards. Read our commitment to partners.
We are a Living Wage employer and encourage and support our partners to pay the real Living Wage
