Blagrave Trust, in partnership with C-op Foundation, the Energy Saving Trust Foundation, OVO Foundation, and Impatience Earth, is offering one-year grants of up to £20,000 for youth-led organisations across England that empower young people to take climate action in ways that are meaningful for them and their communities.
The Roots & Routes Fund will support projects that:
- Empower young people to challenge and change the oppressive systems, processes and practices that prevent or hinder them from making their voices heard and making meaningful change.
- Aspire to bring about long-lasting change.
- Are bold and seek to reimagine how systems work.
Funding can be used for a variety of activities, including advocacy, research, training and learning, or a specific project or activity and can be used for both new and preexisting projects.
Groups must be based and working within England with an annual revenue of between £10,000 and £500,000 and have a leadership of at least 55% people between the ages of 18 and 30 and who have characteristics of communities that are most impacted by climate injustice or underrepresented in the climate justice sector.
The deadline for applications is 2 June 2025 (23:59).
