FUEL

Designed by young people, decided by young people

START MY APPLICATION

FUEL is a pot of money (up to £500) that young people (18-30) around the UK can use to react to social issues that are important to them. Simple application and quick turnaround mean it’s great for work that needs to move quickly in order to have an impact.

In 2021-2022, we funded over 50 projects, supporting young people to create, uplift communities, take a stand and spark real change. Now it’s your turn!

  • Try to make a change in the world (however small)
  • Respond to recent events or something currently happening
  • Will have an impact on people (which may include yourself, your communities, the world etc)
  • Are creative and innovative
  • Can be achieved within 4 weeks of receiving the fund
  • Fit with our values
"I want people to see that divine feminity doesn't mean a woman who is wearing makeup or fully glammed up or is a size 6. In recent media, that is all that divine feminine is being depicted. I want this to empower woman no matter what their looks are based on. Women who have hair on their body, they are feminine too. Women who have scars, have vitiligo, albinism.... all these traits do not make a woman less feminine and this is the change I want to bring."

“Through poetry, we discover that our joys and sorrows are shared across the human race and therefore we are not alone. It really does act as a guide or conscience to our thoughts."⁠

FUELLED PROJECTS

Radhika  received FUEL funding to support her project. She wanted to present women who don’t depict as “feminine”. With mainstream media basing “femininity” on looks, this project explores feminity on an individual’s feelings about being a woman rather than perception.
