The Consortium of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Voluntary and Community Organisations, in partnership with the Henry Smith Foundation, is offering funding for organisations working with LGBT+ youth across the UK to deliver projects that enable them to be well-resourced, sustainable, resilient, and build confidence and independence in LGBT+ young people.
Grants of between £10,000 and £50,000 are available for projects that achieve one or more of the following aims:
- Young people are better prepared for adulthood.
- Young people have improved resilience with increased aspirations and opportunities.
- Increased coordination and collaboration between agencies and organisations.
- Skilled and competent workforces supporting LGBT+ young people.
- Organisations are better equipped to provide holistic, person-centred support.
- Organisational policies will better consider and reflect the experiences of LGBT+ young people and their specific needs when growing into adulthood.
Priority will be given to organisations in historically underfunded areas within the LGBT+ sector, such as the North-East, East, Southwest of England, the Devolved Nations, areas lacking provision, and/or work that supports intersectional LGBT+ communities.
The deadline for applications is 27 August 2025 (noon).
