Youth Participation Fund

Supporting youth-led initiatives

The Youth Council and Youth Participation Team have a total grant pot of £40,000 to fund projects that make a positive impact for young people in Kensington and Chelsea. This funding is used to support youth-led initiatives that address key issues, promote social action, and give young people a stronger voice in the community.

The Youth Council works alongside the Youth Participation Team to decide how this funding is spent. When applications are open, young people and youth groups can apply for funding to support their projects.
