How to apply

SYP Trust offers small grants to organisations working with young people (with a preference for ages 11-18) in Greater London. We will consider work that improves the lives of young people through one or more of the following:

• access to learning and employment

• living a healthy, active life (focusing on mental health)

• giving a voice to their situation and a say in the decisions that impact their lives

Read more about our funding priorities to ensure your work meets one or more of our focus areas under each of these headings.

Type of grants

Work that meets our focus areas:

• We typically give in the region of £5-10k per grant and will deliver two funding rounds per financial year.

• Grants are unrestricted funds to support the organisation, although some restrictions may be requested where the organisation also works outside of these parameters (i.e. age ranges, location etc)

• Grants will typically be for a defined period, however we are looking to grow relationships with charities that closely align with our charitable objects and your initial application will not preclude you from applying for further funding.

Innovation under our main priorities:

If you are seeking funding to pilot an innovative idea that sits under any of our three main priorities and you can demonstrate it is unique in London and has the potential to have a high impact in your location, and/or could be easily adopted in other London Boroughs, we would be happy to hear from you.
