This fund aims to improve outcomes for children and young people in different parts of the UK (regardless of their nationality, culture or ethnic origin) who are wholly or mainly under 26 years of age. The overarching focus is on creating educational and/or access opportunities for young people in circumstances, groups or locations that face economic challenges or social marginalisation that may lead to significant disadvantages in later life.
All grants awarded will be for restricted funding. However, you can request specifically stated running or capital costs, such as contributions to a salary for a named role, detailed IT upgrades or a building renovation. New project costs or contributions towards on-going projects or programmes are also permitted.
Grants awarded could be one-off or, in some cases, multi-year; multi-year grants are rarely awarded for more than three years.
To mark Small Charity Week 2025, NCVO is partnering with Big Give and Global’s Make Some Noise to launch a match funding campaign that will provide crucial financial support to small charities.
Grants of up to £500 are available for volunteering or community service projects that are run by young people aged 30 and younger to help them put their ideas into action and run projects that benefit others.
As part of its new grant-making Strategy 2022-25, BBC Children in Need has launched a grants stream for core costs.
