The LGBT+ Fund has received £300,000 to award to organisations and groups supporting LGBT+ youth across England.
The project puts LGBT+ young people in the driving seat of designing and driving the Youth Joy Fund. This will support queer young people to find moments of joy through youth work, community engagement and local events.
The aim of this fund is for organisations supporting LGBT+ young people to foster youth joy, belonging, and positivity building through projects, trips, and other enriching experiences. LGBT+ young people should have the opportunity to feel higher levels of self-acceptance, connection to community, and improved wellbeing because of the funded work.
Grants range from £5,000 to £25,000.
