Sharing power with children and young people: Invitation to partner

Preventing violence is a priority for many young people in the UK who feel its impacts through fear, stress, loss, and physical harm. As well as being directly impacted by it, young people also talk about violence as a symptom of wider challenges faced in many places, like social division, poverty and disadvantage. 

BBC Children in Need and Social Finance’s Impact Incubator are forming a new partnership to reduce the violence that impacts children and young people and their communities across the UK. We want expert partners to join us, strengthen the work, and realise our aim of sharing power with children and young people and their communities.

This invitation to partner will be live from Friday 18th December 2020 until the submission point of 12pm (noon) Friday 22nd January 2021.

If you plan to submit a proposal, we ask that you email Harriet via sharingpowercyp@socialfinance.org.uk to confirm your interest before 5pm on Friday 8th January 2021. Please include your organisation(s) name(s) and main contact information. 

We would be very pleased to speak with you about your proposal and answer any questions you have. If you would like to speak to one of us, please contact us via sharingpowercyp@socialfinance.org.uk. We are only able to answer questions received before 5pm on Wednesday 13th January 2021.

In the interest of transparency, we will collate all questions asked into an anonymous Q&A document and distribute this on 15th January 2021. This will be distributed to everyone who has registered their interest in applying before the deadline (see above).

The evaluation process will take place during the week commencing 25th January 2021. We will inform all applicants of the final decision by the middle of February.
