Summary: Grants to UK‑based charities supporting vulnerable young people aged 12 to 24 who have experienced adverse childhood experiences or childhood trauma. The fund aims to improve outcomes through early intervention and rehabilitation, particularly projects that prevent re‑offending or divert young people from involvement in the youth or criminal justice system.

Value and term: No minimum or maximum grant amount is specified, though the average award is around £15,000. Grants must cover no more than 50% of the total project cost, meaning match funding is required. No specific project duration is stated.

Fund priorities

• • Support young people in the community, in prison or young offenders’ institutions, or on release

  • Demonstrate potential to be replicated or scaled up
