We’re excited to launch the fourth round of our Give it a Go Fund.
This time, the theme has been chosen by our ‘Given it a Go’ group: 11 local people who’ve either received funding or helped make decisions in previous rounds.
Their choice? Children and young people – because our borough has the highest number of children and young people in the country, and the highest number living in deprivation across London.
We’re looking for creative ideas – think youth leadership programmes, coding or online safety workshops, youth-led gardening or recycling projects, or anything that helps build confidence and resilience.
What is the Give it a Go Fund?
As decided by a group of eight resident co-designers in May last year, the Give it a Go Fund provides ten applicants £2,000 each for something that fills a gap and delivers social impact in the borough.
All decisions about what gets funded are made by residents.
Other eligibility criteria includes:
- Maximum annual turnover of £50,000
- Project is delivered within Barking and Dagenham
- Project fosters inclusivity
- Project is new for you or your organisation
- Project is delivered in the next 3-4 months
- You are not a previous Give it a Go Fund grantee
