Grants of £5,000 available to schools in England to support young people to access high quality social action opportunities.

The £54 million #iwill Fund is a joint investment from The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to support young people to access high quality social action opportunities.

As a match funder awarding grants on the behalf of the #iwill Fund, the Ormiston Trust is offering open grants to support the embedding of sustainable youth social action at scale in schools.

The Ormiston Trust’s #WeWill Social Action Grants fund looks to support this mission by funding projects which will have a meaningful social impact on an individual, school, local, national, and/or international level, are co-produced young people, and allow development for key skills.

There are four main funding areas within the programme:

• Environment and Climate Justice
• Wellbeing and Mental Health
• Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion
• Community-based Issues.

Applicants must be a primary or secondary school based in England.

Successful applicants must commit to using the Trust's social action toolkit filled with resources, curriculum guides, and templates within the span of the programme.

Grants of up to £5,000 for a nine to 12-month period are available.

The deadline for expressions of interest is 22 April 2022.
