Discover the Emerging ImpactÂ
This report offers deep insights into how flexible funding and youth-led governance are enabling young people to create real-world change.
Young people aren’t just the future, they are leading the change right now. The Young Gamechangers Fund (YGF) is a pioneering initiative that puts power and resources directly into the hands of young activists, campaigners, and social entrepreneurs aged 10–25 across the UK.
Our Midterm Report presents the emerging findings from our first cohort, revealing the transformative impact of youth-led social action on individuals and communities alike.
Inside, you’ll find evidence of :
Personal Growth & Leadership: Young participants, particularly those from marginalised backgrounds, consistently reported an increase in their confidence, inner power, and ability to lead.
Meaningful Participation: Grantees are shifting power dynamics by moving from passive involvement to genuine ownership, enabling young people to co-design strategies and influence policies within schools, the NHS, and local government.
Systemic Change: YGF-funded initiatives are acting as catalysts for broader change, influencing public services, creating educational toolkits, and building community cohesion across diverse areas.
The Power of Design: Learn how the Fund’s unique structure, combining unrestricted funding, supportive relationships, and youth-led governance, is critical to the grantees’ success and ability to reach groups often excluded from traditional funding.
