Applications open for our GM youth-led action fund!

This year, we have funding available to support a small number of youth-led responses to the data in Greater Manchester. Building on our previous work funded by Big Change, we are looking to empower young people and groups to lead the response to the #BeeWell data – coming up with responses, recommendations, actions and more. You can read about previous work we’ve supported here: 2024/25 Youth-Led Responses to #BeeWell Data & 2023/24 Youth Led Responses to #BeeWell Data.

We hope to work with these projects to: 

• Empower young people to explore, act on and advise what should be done about #BeeWell findings, 

• Bring together young people, schools and/or other key stakeholder groups to work together on the data,  

• Respond to the headline findings or a locally important issue identified in #BeeWell data. 

We will work with the successful projects to amplify the learning in Greater Manchester and hope to showcase the work throughout our communications and annual event.  

You can find more about what these projects may include, guidance on timings, how decisions will be made and more here: #BeeWell Youth-Led Action Fund.

The deadline to submit an application is 5pm, Tuesday 20th October. Please note we may need to close applications early if we receive a high volume of interest. Applications can be completed here.

If you have any questions or want to discuss this with a member of the team, please contact beewell@manchester.ac.uk, we would love to hear from you!
