A three year grant to support the Director to expand Tender’s effective arts-based prevention scheme, developed with and for groups of young people, that aims to tackle domestic and sexual violence. Tender will scale up the Trust programme so that it not only raises awareness of domestic violence but attempts to change policy, share good practice and make real, practical improvements to the lives of young people in Britain’s schools.

Brand New will provide disenfranchised individuals and communities – based in the Glasgow neighbourhoods of Easterhouse, Scotstounhill and Govanhill – with an arts based initiative that acts as a vehicle for positive social change. Over a two-year period the project will work with local partners to tackle inter and intra community conflicts through the collaborative act of making a film.

Based in London, Music for Change is a two year collaborative, multi-agency project which, through the creation of music, seeks to promote social inclusion and positive mental health, to marginalised young people. The project will also look to the wider local community, in order to provide young people, their families, and others on the Estate, with better access to services and opportunities. Improving the awareness of service providers and community organisations about the needs and potential of the young people is another important aim.

A 15 month project to research and put together coherent menu of well-evaluated programmes that can be used by secondary schools to improve delivery of the recommended programme of study for ​‘personal well being’.

This 9 month pilot project follows a feasibility study and support from the Innovation Unit who see the model as potential ​‘Next Practice’. 10 schools and 50 students will participate in testing out a new model of provision that gives each young person a programme encompassing school-based lessons of their choice, work- and community-based learning and online learning. The Inclusion Trust hope to prove a model that can then be applied across England.
