Funding PrioritiesFunding Priorities for Trailblazer Fund and Catalyser FundOur Trailblazer Fund and our Catalyser Fund are accepting applications for work that meets any of our six funding themes (Early Years, Disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent young people, Youth Justice System, Young People Facing Barriers, Organisations & the Workforce and Young Adults) and for work taking place in any area of England.There are some regions and funding themes where we currently receive a relatively low number of applications from and therefore fund less than we would like to. We would like to see more applications from:Regions: East of England, North East and West Midlands. Funding Themes: Disabled, d/Deaf and neurodivergent young people, Early Years and Youth Justice System.Funding for these areas will still remain competitive. We currently receive a high number of applications from London and the North West and for work with Young People Facing Barriers - so success rates for these areas is lower. Information about funding priorities for our other funds - coming soon.
