Applications open: Evidence into Action funding and learning programme

Applications now open for Youth Futures Foundation’s new Evidence into Action funding and learning programme

Designed to improve knowledge mobilisation across the sector, Evidence into Action is a three-year commitment focused on developing and delivering vocational training solutions for young people not in education, employment or training (NEET), or who are at risk of becoming NEET, and who identify as being from Black, Mixed Black, Bangladeshi, Pakistani and/or Gypsy Roma Traveler Heritage.

Our Youth Employment Toolkit indicates that both on and off-the-job training may have a positive impact on outcomes for young people with additional barriers to employment. We now want to put these insights into practice by supporting voluntary organisations to design and deliver high quality on and off-the-job training activities and evaluate their impact.

We will award a maximum of 10 Delivery Grants of up to £75,000 per year for up to three years for voluntary sector organisations operating in selected local authorities across Greater Manchester, Lancashire, London, West Midlands and Yorkshire committed to developing their youth employability activities. Alongside the funding, we will provide learning and development support that affords delivery organisations the time and resources to understand evidence-based practice and embed this confidently into their activities. To deepen collective understanding of what works for youth employment, we will also commission an evaluation partner to evaluate the effectiveness of the programme.

Open from 22 July 2024, the first funding round will cover 3 years of learning, development and delivery. For more information please click here

Youth Futures Foundation will be hosting weekly online webinars for potential applicants and there are opportunities to book one to one appointments to find out more
