Helping your organisation open doors for young Londoners.
We’re thrilled to announce that grant applications are officially open under our newly updated funding themes.
This is an exciting milestone for us. We’ve spent time listening, learning, and refocusing our priorities to ensure our support meets the real-world needs of young people in London today. Our updated themes range from early intervention and career pathways to innovation and life skills and are designed to support projects that are making a real difference. Read our updated Grants Strategy to learn more.
Whether you’re a small community group with a new idea or a large-scale organisation with an established programme, we want to hear from you. We know that meaningful change happens at every level, and we’re looking for passionate partners who share our mission of creating opportunities that help young people thrive.
We’re eager to start putting these new themes into action, and our Grants Team are ready to begin receiving and assessing applications this week.
The first meeting to review applications under the new themes will take place in October 2026. Meanwhile, Our Spring and Summer 2026 Grants Committee meetings will award the final grants under our previous funding themes.
