UK Youth Fund

EXPRESSIONS OF INTEREST BY 6 MAY 2026

Youth and outdoor learning organisations in Torridge, Plymouth and Torbay can apply to the UK Youth Fund for multi-year, unrestricted funding to improve their financial sustainability and increase their resilience.

The aim of the UK Youth Fund is to direct funding towards organisations that deliver high-quality youth provision in communities with greater socio-economic need and support young people most at risk of being excluded from youth provision due to where they live, work or study.

Applications are open to charitable organisations, not-for-profits and Community Interest Companies. You must have an annual turnover of less than £500,000 and be delivering services to young people based in the eligible areas (within Devon, only Torridge, Plymouth and Torbay are eligible). You must have been operating for a minimum of two years. Note that schools are not eligible for this funding.

Eligible organisations can apply for a grant of up to 10% of their annual turnover. The funding can be used towards core costs, staffing, service delivery, basic supplies for young people, training, and organisational development.
