The Youth Fund supports organisations whose main purpose is about helping young people (aged 14-25) in the most precarious positions, where making the transition to adult independence is most challenging, and those who are most vulnerable.
The Fund supports organisations which work with young people in a way that recognises and builds on their strengths and potential.
Through this fund PHF wants to promote a way of working where young people’s voices, influence and ideas are central. It aims to enable those with innovative and influential ideas or outstanding practice to sustain and prepare to grow their impact.
Organisations may be planning to grow their impact by:
- Replicating a programme or service
- Widening the reach of an idea or innovation
- Spreading a technology or skill
- Advancing policy or enhancing its implementation
- Influencing attitudes
The Fund will provide core funding to organisations within the youth sector and outside. This is a direct response to what PHF heard in the strategy consultation – that, in order to achieve greatest positive impact in the lives of young people, organisations need to achieve a balance of stability, continuity and flexibility.
