Registered charities and organisations across the UK working with young people can apply for funding to deliver projects and work that supports young people aged 18 years and under across the priority themes of abuse, addiction, child carers, and homelessness.

In the third funding round of 2026, the Foundation is offering the following:

• Social Impact Grants – two-year unrestricted grants of £5,000 per year for charities working to address key societal issues affecting young people, both for direct solutions and approaches that address the wider societal challenges linked to the Foundation’s focus areas. This round will focus on anti-racism and online abuse. 
• Individual Grants – one-off grants of up to £500 for safeguarding professionals (such as social workers, lawyers, school outreach officers) representing a young person within the UK, in the care or legal system, who is in need of some extra help.
• Fully funded apprenticeships (up to Level 4) for registered UK charities, CICs, schools, nurseries or children’s homes that are non-levy paying employers supporting vulnerable young people. The funding priorities must align with tackling homelessness, supporting child carers, combatting abuse or battling addiction.

For Social Impact grants, organisations must have a turnover of under £1.5 million to apply.

The next deadline for applications is 13 July for notification in November 2026.
