Details

The Alliance for Youth Organising will provide anchor grants of £40,000 a year for two years to UK-based organisations that are supporting youth organising.

The purpose of the funding is to support wider access to youth organising and strengthen the youth organising field. Groups will also receive an additional £5,000 to support learning and to provide strategic insight to the Alliance to shape its future strategy.

This funding is for organisations that already have a track record of supporting youth organising and with Alliance funding would have more impact.

It recognises the challenges facing organisations that support youth organising in securing long-term sustainable funding which allows them to focus on their core work - building youth power.

The Alliance also recognises that there are many ways that organisations can support young people to organise.

These include place-based support to organise to address local issues, national or regional leadership training programmes, support for networks of young organisers through mentoring and coaching, incubating youth organising initiatives and providing fiscal hosting.
