Social Investment Business (SIB), with funding from the UK Government, is offering grants of between £5,000 and £100,000 (per site) for youth organisations to improve youth facilities in priority areas across England.
In this round, funding is for capital equipment to help youth organisations better support the young people they work with. The project must meet at least one of the fund objectives:
- Improving the reach of activities provided.
- Improving the safety of existing youth facilities.
- Improve the youth sector's capacity and quality to deliver a range of enrichment activities.
- Improving the financial sustainability of youth facilities.
Capital equipment, including vehicles, that is not routine maintenance, repair, or like-for-like replacement, is eligible for funding. Eligible costs include:
- The equipment purchase cost.
- All costs necessary to bring the equipment to working condition for its intended use, which can include delivery and handling, site preparation, installation, and related professional fees for architects and engineers.
Individual items of equipment must be £2,000 or greater in value. Multiples of identical items with a cumulative value of £2,000 or greater purchased in a single transaction are also eligible. Different items can be grouped to meet the £2,000 threshold if they are interdependent.
The deadline for applications is 6 November 2025 (noon).
