The Bartlett Group Fund Programme is a partnership between Leeds Community Foundation and the Bartlett Foundation which aims to support locally rooted organisations in Leeds and Bradford addressing challenges faced by young people in vulnerable circumstances.
Grants will be largely flexible and are intended to support organisational capacity as well as project delivery.
Funding Information

- Projects aimed at improving the lives of disadvantaged young people such as youth clubs, opportunities for alternative education, 1:1 support programmes, family support and skills sessions, and improving access to services.
