The SNG #iwill Fund 2.0 – Wellbeing Champions Programme
The SNG #iwill Fund 2.0 embeds the youth social action discovered in our first programme, but this time focuses on mental health and wellbeing - a theme chosen by our Youth Panel as something young people are currently struggling with, especially after the global pandemic and during the current cost of living crisis.
Through this fund, which we’re calling our Wellbeing Champions Programme (WCP), we’re investing over £1 million between 2023-2026 and pledging to award at least £450k of grants to grassroot organisations that will provide young people with social action opportunities to help them have a voice in their future and communities, as well as being a positive catalyst for change.
We’ll do this through:
- Wellbeing Champions Programme (WCP) Grants
- Wellbeing and Social Action Festivals

Over the next three years, we will be holding 12 Wellbeing & Social Action Festivals, one per SNG locality, to create a space for networking, community connection, mental health and career support.
