The Youth Joy Fund awards grants of up to £25,000 to organisations and groups supporting LGBT+ youth across England.

The fund’s aim is for organisations supporting LGBT+ young people to foster youth joy, belonging, and positivity building through projects, trips, and other enriching experiences. LGBT+ young people should have the opportunity to feel higher levels of self-acceptance, connection to community, and improved wellbeing because of the funded work.

Applicants must be:

• an England based non-profit LGBT+ organisation or youth group that currently supports young people within the age range of 11-25 years old (e.g. an LGBT+ organisation which primarily supports LGBT+ youth)
• an England based non-profit organisation or youth group that currently supports LGBT+ young people within the age range of 11-25 years old whose work with LGBT+ young people is led by LGBT+ people (e.g. an LGBT+ youth group which is led by LGBT+ youth workers within a wider youth organisation)

The fund particularly seeks to support organisations in historically underfunded areas within the LGBT+ sector such as the North-East, East, Southwest of England, areas lacking provision, and/or work which supports intersectional LGBT+ communities. For example, those supporting LGBT+ young people with disabilities, LGBT+ global majority young people, etc.

Deadline: Wednesday 18th November 2026, midday
