Historic England’s History in the Making programme offers grants to support projects that work directly with young people outside school hours in areas of high social deprivation. Projects must be co-created with young people, with their voices shaping the decisions, design and direction of the activity.
The Democratic Engagement Fund supports community-based projects that help people understand and take part in democratic processes. The fund prioritises projects that increase democratic participation among underrepresented groups.
The Amazon Regional Creatives Fund offers grants to support programmes that help people from underserved communities access careers in the creative industries.
The fund is aimed at organisations already running impactful creative skills programmes, with clear plans to grow or sustain their work.
West Bromwich Building Society’s Mercian Community Trust offers grants to charities tackling issues such as ill health, social wellbeing, disability, poverty, vulnerable children and domestic violence. The Trust mainly supports organisations working within the West Bromwich Building Society branch network area, including parts of the West Midlands and surrounding areas.
Grants are available for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations in England working to improve the mental health of underserved young men aged 16 to 35.
The funding will support community-based projects that strengthen social connections and encourage young men to seek help earlier, particularly those facing barriers to support.
