As the charitable arm of The Energy Saving Trust, The Energy Saving Trust Foundation supports charities working on youth-led climate projects. With the help of Airbnb, they are relaunching their Youth Climate Fund for another year.
Organisations that are helping to facilitate youth-led climate action initiatives are able to apply for a grant of up to £40,000, which will be given out over the course of two years.
Why are they doing this?
“We want young people to feel more confident about taking action to address the climate emergency and making their voices heard,” said Jim Metcalfe, chair of the Energy Saving Trust Foundation’s board of trustees. “We encourage organisations to think creatively and embrace new approaches to make climate change relevant, accessible, and engaging to young minds.”
