The SNG #iwill Fund

At SNG, investing in our communities – and young people in particular – is important to us. The SNG #iwill Fund creates £1.5 million worth of opportunities for youth social action and offers young people a voice in their communities and futures. 

Launched in 2022, the SNG #iwill Fund is made possible thanks to a £66 million joint investment from The National Lottery Community Fund Opens in new window and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) Opens in new window

Under the SNG #iwill Fund, there are various programmes focusing on different areas of youth social action – you can read more about these below. Organisations can apply for an open grant to deliver specific youth social action projects, as long as they meet the programme criteria.
