Our Pathways Fund Partners

The Pathways Fund offers core grants of £60K-£90K over three years (£20K-£30k pa) to emergent youth-led groups across England.  We see this fund as a ‘Pathway’ to support groups who are emergent to become more established. 

 

We define: 

  • emergent groups as those who have some experience in doing work for social justice but may struggle to access financial and other forms of support to develop their work and ideas.  
  • established groups as those who have a track record of impact, strong networks, and are mostly looking for financial resource to ensure they can sustain work that is already happening.  

We went public with the Pathways Fund in September 2023 and currently have 17 partners funded through the programme with grant totalling £1.1m.
