OBJECTIVES
We aim to:
- Learn about what really works
- Have a positive impact on the young people involved in the projects and the communities that they serve
- Increase investment in and understanding of health and wellbeing initiatives for young people
And to generate:
- Case studies and other evidence of promising approaches
- Opportunities for future collaboration and investment
To achieve this we are seeking grant applications for projects which:
- Focus on health promotion and non-communicable disease (NCD) prevention in young people
- Are aimed at people younger than 30
- Have opportunities for youth involvement and leadership
- Demonstrate innovation and can be scaled up
- Are diverse
Focusing on unmet local needs, this opportunity will see increased reach across new and existing markets, whilst testing and learning about new approaches.
The grants programme aims to achieve its intended impact through funding new ideas, focusing on understanding challenges and creating interventions that catalyse change. Priority will be given to applications that are led by or involving young people, which demonstrate potential to innovate and grow in scale. We expect projects to focus on one or more of the following:
- Exploring challenges and opportunities to explore, define and understand social needs
- Generating ideas
- Developing and testing ideas areas
- Making the business case
