Young Women in Mind 2026–2028 is a joint funding programme from the Pilgrim Trust, the Prudence Trust and the Julia Rausing Trust. Together, we will grant £5 million over three years to strengthen and scale effective mental health services for girls and young women aged 14–25 across the UK.

Why this programme?
We know that young women are experiencing worsening mental health outcomes. Yet too many still face barriers to accessing timely, appropriate support. This programme aims to increase access to high‑quality, age‑ and gender‑specific services designed with, and specifically for, young women.

What we’re looking to fund
We will support charities to grow, strengthen or adapt existing therapeutic mental health services, so that more young women can access support that meets their needs effectively – particularly where mental health needs are already present and risk becoming entrenched without timely and effective help.

Funding can be used for activities such as

• Expanding targeted provision
• Improving physical spaces
• Reducing barriers to access and engagement
• Strengthening outreach and communication
• Building staff capability

 
Grant size and timeline

• Grants available: £200,000–£500,000 over three years
• Stage 1 deadline: 22 June 2026
• Stage 2 deadline: 24 August 2026
• Decisions announced: by the end of November 2026

 
Who can apply
This fund is open to UK-registered charities working with girls and young women aged 14–25, that already deliver therapeutic mental health services, and operate in Northern Ireland, Scotland, the North of England or the Midlands (national organisations are also eligible).
 
Full eligibility criteria, a short eligibility quiz, and the application form are available on the Pilgrim Trust’s website: https://www.thepilgrimtrust.org.uk/young-womens-mental-health-grants/

We also plan to host a webinar in June to introduce the funders and answer questions. Details will be shared on the Pilgrim Trust website.

Applications to the Stocks Massey Bequest for 2026 are now being invited.

​The deadline for submission of applications to the Stocks Massey Bequest is 5PM on Friday 22nd of May 2026.

What is the Stocks Massey Bequest?
Edward Stocks Massey left a large sum of money in his will for the benefit of the inhabitants of Burnley. This sum was invested by the then corporation (now Burnley Borough Council) and has been maintained by trustees over the years to allow an annual sum of money to be granted to Burnley residents to advance the arts in the borough.

The annual income was originally divided between the Municipal Orchestra, Towneley Hall, and education grants to local individuals.

Burnley currently has the Edward Stocks Massey Gallery at Towneley Hall, and the Massey Music Library at Burnley Central Library, both of which were funded by the grant.

​Who is eligible to apply to this fund?
The grant is available to individuals and organisations in the town for education, the advancement of science, learning music and other arts within the borough.

There are also two Higher Education Student Support Scholarships available each year to assist young people of Burnley who have gone into further education in the borough, and who have achieved a place at a higher education institution.

How do I apply?
An application must be completed and submitted by the application deadline. The application form can be downloaded at the bottom of this page.

The deadline for submission of applications to the Stocks Massey Bequest is 5PM on Friday 22nd of May 2026.

Please note that an application that meets the relevant criteria of the bequest is no guarantee that an award will be made; grants awarded in previous years are also no guarantee of future awards and a previous unsuccessful application does not prevent any future applications being considered.

Please also note that bequest funds for distribution are limited.

UK Youth and Pears Foundation have launched a new £10 million fund to champion an approach that works: providing multi-year, unrestricted funding alongside targeted capacity-building support to small youth organisations.
Expressions of Interest for this funding will open at 2pm, Tuesday 14 April.
The aim of the Fund is to strengthen the financial resilience and capacity of small youth and outdoor learning organisations across the UK.
We aim to achieve this through two key outcomes:
Outcome 1: Improved Financial Sustainability, supporting grantees to invest time and resource in strategic, organisational development through our multi-year unrestricted funding grant programme
Outcome 2: Increased Capability and Organisational Resilience through our capacity building programme
Organisations can apply for multi-year unrestricted funding of up to 10% of annual turnover. This approach ensures that funding is proportional to the size and capacity of your organisation to help ensure sustainability and resilience.

Do you have an idea to make South West Burnley better?

Apply for up to £500.

 You can apply for projects to get people more active, like:

• Setting up new experiences or activity sessions for people to get involved.
• Helping improve, or create new spaces for people to be active in - or providing the equipment they need to do the activity.
• Improving both environmental sustainability and providing physical activity opportunities.
• Supporting organisations to build their capacity and capability so they can help the people in their community to be active.
• Responding to emergencies that impact on people taking part in physical activity, and helping get activity happening again.
