Scaling Up Fund


The Youth of Today Scaling Up Fund invites applications from small third sector organisations in England to address key challenges of how to scale-up innovative youth leadership programmes and reach out across communities. In total, £0.5 million will be distributed, which equates to 30 grants of between £5,000 and £20,000.

The grants aim to:

help more young people take on leadership roles in their community;
create more opportunities for young people to influence the decisions affecting them;
raise the quality of youth leadership opportunities;
enable small organisations to grow; and
fund innovative projects that are unlikely to find funding from other sources.
The grant should be used to develop and expand youth leadership programmes – including delivery costs, staff costs and small capital items.

Funded and supported by the Department for Children, Schools and Families and Communities and Local Government, The Youth of Today provide an opportunity to address challenges young people face enabling them to receive adequate representation in the places where power is exercised, from parliament and local councils, to businesses and voluntary organisations. The Youth of Today aims to increase the quantity and reach of opportunities for young people; to build stronger evidence and an understanding of what works, and to create opportunities for young people to influence decisions affecting them.
