The UK Youth Fund – Cost of Living
The UK Youth – Cost of Living Fund delivered with generous support from the Pears Foundation, was a £5 million, three-year unrestricted grant fund provided initially to 184 youth organisations across England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
In its first year, the fund provided financial stability to small youth organisations (with an annual income of under £500,000) in a challenging economic climate, helping them continue to deliver vital youth work for over 100,000 young people in the UK.
