Are you 18-25? The Blagrave Trust could help fund your social action work! Applications close 12th May 2022.
Are you….
- Aged 18-25, based in England, and activating your lived experience to create social change?
- An individual or part of a collective or movement of young people?
- Already doing some social justice work?
- Lacking the resources to take your vision and plan to the next level?
- Hoping to achieve long term change on a specific issue affecting young people’s lives?
Challenge and change is back.
This radical funding programme aims to invest in young people aged 18-25 directly. This year we are looking to fund another 30 young lived experience leaders with up to £10,000, from individuals to collectives, tackling a wide range of social issues to challenge social injustice.
This fund embraces and acknowledges that there are young people across England directly affected by injustices who are tirelessly working to speak out against those injustices. We also acknowledge that there are young change makers who are working to see change in their environments but are doing so with little or no resources. The aim of the fund is to support young people who want to challenge and change unlawful laws, policies, practices, and cultures that have directly affected their lives and the communities they share those experiences with.
We are looking to fund work that covers a diverse range of issues affecting young people over a twelve month period. Including but not limited to: young people experiencing poverty, young people with disabilities, single teenage mothers, young care leavers and carers, young people of colour, young migrants and refugees, young people who’ve had contact with the criminal justice system – all young people who want to challenge and change unlawful laws, policies, practices, systems, structures, and cultures that have directly affected their lives and the communities they share those experiences with.
In 2022, the fund has been designed completely by a panel of seven young people. Together with Blagrave staff, they have shared insights from their own experiences to further develop the design of the programme and will be making the final funding decisions.
