We at Young & Inspired are elated to announce that we have been granted funding from the prestigious Million Hours Fund, a collaboration between the National Lottery and DCMS (Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport). This funding marks a significant milestone in our journey to empower and uplift the youth of our community.
The support from the Million Hours Fund will propel our ambitious project, ‘Rules That Liberate’, into action. With this generous backing, we are set to offer an additional 500 hours of after-school youth activities annually. This means more opportunities for young minds to flourish, more chances for talents to be honed, and more avenues for growth to be explored.
In a time where financial constraints and mental health challenges weigh heavily on our youth, this funding comes as a breath of fresh air. It’s more than just monetary support; it’s a testament to the belief in the potential of our young generation. It signifies a collective effort to invest in their future, acknowledging their struggles, and offering tangible solutions.
The ‘Rules That Liberate’ project isn’t just about filling hours; it’s about creating meaningful experiences. It’s about providing platforms where young individuals can discover their passions, enhance their skills, and broaden their horizons. Whether it’s through creative workshops, leadership training, or skill-building sessions, we aim to empower every participant to realize their full potential.
Moreover, this initiative isn’t solely about personal development; it’s about paving the way for better futures. By equipping young people with valuable skills and experiences, we are enhancing their employability prospects. We’re fostering a generation of resilient, adaptable individuals ready to take on the challenges of tomorrow’s workforce.
As we embark on this journey fueled by the support of the Million Hours Fund, we extend our gratitude to all those involved. To the National Lottery and DCMS, thank you for recognizing the importance of investing in youth empowerment. To our supporters and community partners, thank you for standing beside us in our mission to make a difference.
Together, let’s continue to champion the potential of our youth, to nurture their talents, and to create a brighter, more inclusive future for all. With each hour invested, we’re not just shaping young minds; we’re shaping a better world.
