About this Funding:
The Youth Endowment Fund, in partnership with the Department for Education and the Home Office, has launched a new round of its Violence Against Women and Girls Prevention Programme (Objective 2).
The Foundation will fund and evaluate interventions responding to inappropriate and problematic attitudes and behaviours on gender norms and relationships in educational settings amongst children and young people aged 10 to 18 (up to 19 in SEND settings).
This round focuses on secondary prevention: early, targeted support for children and young people who are beginning to show emerging concerns, before behaviours escalate to the point where statutory services such as children’s social care, policing or youth justice are required.
Activities may include training and support for teachers and school staff, tools and resources to support early identification, and approaches that help educational settings respond safely and appropriately.
Registered charities, companies, community interest companies and statutory bodies are eligible to apply.
There is no minimum or maximum grant amount, but budgets must be proportionate to the proposed delivery and evaluation.
Applications close 9am on 2 September 2026.
