Applying for a grant

Terrence Higgins Trust Young Leaders are happy to launch the second small grant scheme for Sex and Relationships Education (SRE). We are inviting you to come up with innovative and creative ideas about how to educate your friends. 

If we like your idea then we’ll give you some money to make it happen. All you need to do is get together with your youth club, school or other organisation to develop the idea and make an application.

How can I get a grant?

Sex and relationships education is an important issue for all young people and Terrence Higgins Trust Young Leaders believe that young people are best paced to educate their friends and peers because you know what you want to learn and how you would like to learn it.

We’ve produced the following resources to help you apply.

Guidance notes

The guidance notes explain a lot more about the Young Leaders Project. They also give important background information about the application process including the conditions you need to observe, the outcomes you need to achieve and an idea of what kind of projects we will consider.

Application form

The application form gives you the chance to tell us more about your idea as it asks questions about the project you are proposing. The form also helps you explain how your idea will help educate your friends and peers. 

The application form is in PDF format which you can save and amend so you do not have to hand write it. 

You'll also be able to attach it as an e-mail and send to youngleaders@tht.org.uk. You might have to confirm these details by post as you are not able to sign electronic copies.

Learning Outcomes

The list of SRE learning outcomes is where we have set out what we hope to achieve in the Young Leaders project. We are looking to fund projects that address one or more of these learning outcomes. It is worth taking a look at them to give you inspiration and ideas on what to base your project on – that would make it more likely to succeed.
