How One Foundation’s £28 Million Bet on Communities Could Change the Game for Good—And What It Means for You
Youth and Community Development: Building Tomorrow’s Leaders
The Foundation’s youth programmes focus on creating opportunities for young people to develop skills, confidence, and community connections. One of its most innovative initiatives has been the partnership with The Scout Association, launched in 2017 through the “Building Futures” competition.
This programme represented the Foundation’s largest single donation initiative to date, awarding grants up to £100,000 for improving Scout meeting places. The winning community group received funding for a brand new Scout hut, but the competition’s broader impact was in encouraging communities across the country to think creatively about youth facilities and programming.
