We are delighted to announce a new partnership funding initiative with the Prudence Trust and the Julia Rausing Trust. Young Women in Mind 2026-2028 will support charities to strengthen and scale effective, age-appropriate, and gender‑informed mental health support for girls and young women aged 14–25 in the UK. Together, we will invest £5 million over three years (2026 – 2028).

As funders, we have come together around a shared concern: young women are experiencing worsening mental health outcomes, yet too many still struggle to access timely support that reflects their lived realities and meets them in the community spaces they trust and turn to for help.

This funding opportunity opens today, 11 May 2026. Full guidelines, a short eligibility quiz, and the application form are available here
