Young People
We support specific projects that aim to improve outcomes for vulnerable young people (aged 12-24). Vulnerable young people are likely to have suffered from adverse childhood experiences and childhood trauma.
We seek to fund projects delivering early intervention and rehabilitation aiming to prevent re-offending and to divert young people from involvement in the youth or criminal justice system.
We are looking for innovative projects and targeted programmes with measurable outcomes. These are likely to include intensive interventions over a period of time and a trauma informed approach provided by crime experienced mentors.
Our average grant is £15,000 and our grant should cover at least 50% of the total project cost.
