The UK Youth Fund in partnership with Pears Foundation is closing for large applications soon.
If your youth organisation is intending to apply for a large grant (which equates to more than £10,000 per year), you must complete and submit your application by midday on Thursday 6th April 2023. We will continue to accept applications for small grants (£10,000 and under) until further notice.
UK Youth and Pears Foundation’s £5m fund to support youth organisations through the cost of living crisis aims to benefit thousands of young people across the country.
The fund aims to ensure that as many vital youth services as possible are able to keep the lights on and support young people in their local community.
Since its launch at the beginning of February, the UK Youth Fund in partnership with Pears Foundation has received a wide variety of large and small grant applications.
The importance of the fund has been illustrated in the responses UK Youth has received from successful grantees so far, including: “Many thanks for the award, that’s going to make a huge difference for our youth project over the coming years.
“Our young people are always so thrilled when we let them know we’ve secured funding to keep running. Please pass on our thanks to the Pears Foundation.”
