Grants up to £200,000 for organisations that specialise in providing holistic support to young people aged 16 - 25 in the UK, who are at risk of, or experiencing homelessness.
This funding opportunity aims to support organisations that work to empower young people who are at immediate risk of, or experiencing homelessness to access the right support at the right time.
They will provide flexible, core funding to organisations which do both of the following:
- Specialise in the provision of holistic support to young people aged 16-25 in the UK, who are at immediate risk of, or experiencing homelessness. Support services should be tailored, inclusive and accessible, to remove barriers and better meet the multiple and diverse needs of young people at immediate risk of or experiencing homelessness. This work could be delivered by the applicant alone or in partnership.
- Meaningfully involve young people with lived experience of homelessness, or who have been at risk of homelessness. This should include involving young people in the development of the organisation’s work and priority areas, and/or in the running of the organisation.
Applying organisations should have an annual income from £250,000 to £10 million. They predominantly funds charities. Collaboration with government organisations is accepted but Comic Relief will not directly fund government organisations.
Proposals can be made by single applicants, or by partnerships of two or three organisations that will receive funding (but only one organisation can act as grant holder).
Please read the guidance on their website carefully before applying.
