The SNG #iwill Fund Programmes are investing £1.5 million in creating opportunities for youth social action and a platform for youth voice.
The SNG #iwill Fund Programmes are comprised of 3 strands of funding, investing over £1.5million in giving young people a voice in their communities and futures.
It's made possible thanks to a £66 million joint investment from The National Lottery Community Fund 
and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) to support young people to access high-quality social action opportunities.
What the SNG #iwill Fund has achieved so far:
- 2,241 engagements from young people who have directly taken part in youth social action projects.
- 21,197 hours spent by young people taking part in youth social action projects.
- £8,794,265.00 social value generated
- 285 young people said they felt significantly more confident as a result of taking part in a youth social action project led by one of our grantees.
- 224 young people said they significantly like living in their community more after taking part in youth social action.
- 242 young people felt they have made a positive difference in the local community as a result of their youth social action projects.
- 299 young people said they had learnt new skills and 535 training outcomes and accreditations were achieved.
- 96% of young people said they would carry on with youth social action after the project ended.
