THE #iwill Fund Learning Hub
Evidence review | Strategy development
Dartington Service Design Lab are the lead partners in the #iwill Fund Learning Hub. We’re working with Match Funders, delivery organisations and evaluators to maximise learning and develop knowledge about how to fund, deliver, and sustain high-quality youth social action that can benefit young people and their communities.
The need
The #iwill Fund brings together £40 million in funding from the DCMS and The National Lottery Community Fund. It aims to make social action part of life for as many 10 to 20 year-olds as possible by 2020. Funding is matched and distributed by other funders through programmes that enable more young people, particularly from less affluent communities, to take part in high quality social action that builds a habit for life.
Our response
We are maximising the leaning created by the #iwill Fund to develop a rich body of knowledge on (i) how to increase the availability and sustainability of youth social action (ii) what outcomes youth social action can promote for young people and communities (iii) how delivery organisations can strengthen and improve their programme design, delivery, and monitoring.
The funder is the #iwill Fund – created by the National Lottery Community Fund and the Department for Culture, Media and Sport. Our consortium partners delivering the Learning Hub are Generation Change, Renaisi, and the Centre for Youth Impact.
