There are so many projects across Britain doing amazing work to support children and young people to be healthy and happy. If you work with young people you will be well aware of the challenges they face with health and wellbeing. Waiting lists for CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services) are at an all-time high, leaving vulnerable young people struggling to cope socially and academically.
Increased levels of childhood poverty across Britain also impacts physical health and wellbeing. Those with disabilities are disproportionally impacted by long wait times and reduced availability of specialist services.

You can apply to access funds from The Health Lottery Foundation if you are a voluntary organisation working with young people

We know that organisations operating in communities across Britain are providing vital youth services at grassroots level and we want to help. Here are some of the types of projects we are happy to consider supporting:
- Youth centres or outreach services that offer activities, mentoring or counselling to those that need it.
- Specialist support for children and young disabled people.
- Places that give children someone they can talk to, when they’re struggling to cope.
- Programmes that promote wellbeing and encourage engagement between young people and nature.
If you are running a project that is improving the health, wellbeing and happiness of young people and children in your community we want to hear from you.
Please sign up to our mailing list to be alerted as soon as our grant window opens. We look forward to hearing about the vital work you are doing in your area.
