Grants available to schools in England to support young people to access high quality social action opportunities.

The Ormiston Trust is a grant-giving trust that primarily supports schools and organisations that provide direct assistance to children, young people, and families across England.

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.

The #iwill campaign is now offering open grants of up to £1000 to support schools who want to embed sustainable youth social action (YSA) at scale in their schools. The aim is for the social action projects to start in schools in mid-January 2023, with significant progress to be made in the programme by May/June 2023.

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.

Grants of up to £1,000 are available.

The fund will open to applications on 1 November 2022 with a deadline of 16 December 2022.
