History illuminates the capacity and courage of young people to drive change, but for too long their ideas have been restricted or constrained. Power is often held by adult-led initiatives that end up speaking on their behalf / controlling and leading their ideas. The Challenge and Change fund exists to change that and move power and resources to young people.
We have just awarded funding to the second cohort of 26 young lived experience leaders. This is in the form of grants of up to £10,000, being made to individuals, collectives and movements, tackling a wide range of social issues to challenge social injustice.
Blagrave is seeking a brilliant communicator who can build strong relationships with our Challenge and Change partners and support them to share their stories of social change with the wider world.
