The Big Ambition - Have your say!

The Children’s Commissioner for England, Dame Rachel de Souza, has launched The Big Ambition, a national survey of children and young people across England.

The Big Ambition aims to hear from children across England on what they think is important! In the lead up to the next General Election, the Children’s Commissioner wants to take children’s thoughts, opinions and ideas to decision-makers, to make sure that the Government hears young people’s voices on what they think needs to be done to make children’s lives better in England.

The Big Ambition survey will be open until Friday 15th December.

Youth Endowment Fund - testing for impact

The YEF aims to learn about the effectiveness of different approaches to prevent young people becoming involved in crime and violence and is looking to fund programmes that are well-established and ready for an efficacy evaluation.
The funders are looking for projects that are able to recruit and support a large enough group of children and young people to be robustly evaluated. The minimum number of children and young people applicants will need to recruit in for the evaluation depends on the type of intervention they are delivering:

Primary prevention programmes - which are universal in provision and aimed at all young people. Reach required: at least 1,000 young people
For secondary prevention programmes - which are aimed at young people who are at risk of involvement in youth offending. Reach required: at least 800 young people
For tertiary prevention programmes - which are aimed at young people who have already been affected by violence, offending and/ or exploitation. Reach required: at least 400 young people.

Application closing deadline: 08 December 2023

Amount available per project: Discretionary
