Global Fund for Children are launching a new program – #iwill – and with our help, GFC will be investing £300,000 into four Bradford-based organisations, along with an 18-month support programme.
#iwill is a place-based and innovative youth social action programme, intended for boys and young men under the age of 14 across the Bradford district. The #iwill Fund seeks to make involvement in social action a part of life for young people, by recognising the benefit for both young people and their communities.
The #iwill fund is made possible thanks to £54 million joint investment from The National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to support young people to access high quality social action opportunities.
Impact Hub Bradford is acting as a match funder and awarding grants on behalf of the #iwill Fund. For the Hub, #iwill is part of our support for Goal 5 – Gender Equality – of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and particularly what it means to be a positive male role model.
The new project will be delivered by GFC with support from the Hub and led by four voluntary sector partners:
- Tasif Khan Community Boxing Academy
- BEAP Community Partnership
- West Bowling Youth Initiative
- Worth Valley Young Farmers
Impact Hub Bradford and Global Fund for Children will be hosting the launch of #iwill at the Hub on 24th November and, along with the fund’s partners and other speakers, celebrating the arrival of this innovative and vital programme for the district.
