Challenge and Change exists to centre young changemakers – individuals, collectives and movements who are not only imagining better futures but actively building them.

Young people are already doing the work, organising, resisting, repairing and building. But too often, their work is underfunded.

Challenge and Change is for you if:

• You’re 18–25 years old and living in England
• You’re using your lived experience to lead change
• You’re an individual, or part of a collective or movement
• You’re already involved in social justice work but lack resources
• You’re ready to create the change you want to see and want to create positive lasting impact

We’re funding 38 young leaders in 2025 with £10,000 grants over 12 months — supporting people working across a wide range of issues.

We will be hosting a Q&A on Challenge and Change on Wednesday 13th August at 6:30pm. Applications close at 11:59 PM on Sunday 14th September.
