Our Pathways Fund Partners

Launched publicly in 2023, the Pathways Fund provides core, flexible funding of £20,000–£30,000 per year for three years to youth-led groups across England.

The programme supports the “Grow” stage of the changemaker journey: organisations that have demonstrated impact, built credibility, and now need time, trust and multi-year investment to strengthen their infrastructure, expand their reach, and develop their leadership.

We launched the programme in 2022 and have funded 20 partners through the programme with core committed grants totalling £1.33m.
