Grant News
A new £10 million fund has been launched to test the impact of positive activities on preventing 10 to 18-year-olds in England and Wales from becoming involved in violence.
Positive can include:
- the arts (including music making, arts and craft, dancing, drama, creative writing and poetry, photography, painting, pottery, sculpture or new media/digital arts)
- sports
- wilderness activities
- adventure activities
The Youth Endowment Fund’s ‘Positive Activities’ grant is looking to fund and evaluate five or six large-scale projects that use positive activities as a means to protect children and young people who have been or are at high risk of becoming involved in offending, and also engage them in other support services, such as talking therapies, mentoring or social skills training.
Projects will need to support a minimum of 350 children over a maximum 24-month period.
The funding is available to registered charities, companies, statutory bodies, and CICsand the closing date for applications is 5pm on the 26th May 2023.
