Our impact 2023
Our impact 2023
This was our second highest year ever for new awards, and we also conducted a review of our UK grant giving strategy, to help us to learn and potentially adapt our future grant giving to support more young people to thrive.
We awarded £1,115,991 in new grants and completed the distribution of the Displacement Education Fund, although its legacy continues: as a result of the clear need for funding in this area, we have incorporated Displaced Young People as one of the priority areas for our ongoing international grant giving. Our Main Fund supports projects to improve educational opportunity for children in some of the most marginalised or low income communities, transforming young people’s lives as these reports show:
- Improving life chances after Covid
- Extending support through tutoring
- Training teachers for inclusive education
We continued our drive towards shared learning among Grants Partners and Members by hosting two in-person events. Charities shared a range of inspiring projects to overcome barriers to learning at our Annual Conference in June and in the autumn the Grant Partners’ Workshop focused on the
theme of ‘How to successfully work with decision-makers’. The online BFSS Forum enjoyed a 30% increase in the number of participants.
