Inspire 22 Social Action Funding

• To build community pride and help bridge and generational divide in communities
• To give young people agency to design events that feel relevant to them and their communities
• To challenge and change any negative perceptions of youth that may have formed during the pandemic

Young people receive support, mentoring and guidance to produce a pitch for their project which is delivered to a board (made up of 50% young people) where they can apply for up to £5,000 funding to see their dream come to life.

Need extra support:

• There is an access fund available if young people are experiencing any barriers to participation
• There are workshops in partnership with local businesses, community groups, etc. available
• Access to learning resources can be provided as well as a digital hub to connect, learn, and access the funding
