Funding Information

The National Youth Agency does not provide any direct funding for youth work. However we are able to offer details of the major trusts and organisations which support work with young people in England in a range of contexts. It draws heavily on information available to subscribers to fundinginformation.org, an online fundraising information resource for voluntary organisations, local authorities and other not-for-profit organisations throughout the UK.
