Youth Endowment Fund – Objective 2: Responding to Inappropriate and Problematic Attitudes and Behaviours on Gender Norms and Relationships in Educational Settings.
Organisations in England can apply for funding to deliver targeted early interventions for children and young people aged 10 to 18 who are showing signs of inappropriate or problematic attitudes and behaviours around gender and relationships. The Youth Endowment Fund’s Violence Against Women and Girls Prevention Programme (Objective 2) will fund and evaluate interventions delivered in educational settings that address these concerns before they escalate into more serious harm or require statutory intervention. Activities may include training and support for teachers and school staff, tools and resources to support early identification, and approaches that help educational settings respond safely and appropriately. There is no minimum or maximum grant amount. The fund is delivered in partnership with the Department for Education and the Home Office.
Registered charities, companies, community interest companies and statutory bodies can apply by 2 September 2026
