How we identify our local geographic and thematic areas of interest
There are several ways we identify our geographic and thematic areas of interest:
We look at where the projects we currently fund are delivering
We look at the barriers children and young people are experiencing
We listen to the voices of children and young people
We listen to projects who tell us about the current and emerging needs of the sector, since the arrival of the pandemic
We look at the wider funding landscape, government policy and research at a local level
We consider the key Covid-19 themes across the UK that our research team have identified
We recognise that there is a complex picture of regional variation across the four nations, including ward level variations and there are needs within areas that otherwise appear to be well served.
