🌟 As #iWill Week comes to a close, we’re celebrating the inspiring young people driving change across the UK! 🌟 Through social action, these youth-led initiatives are making a real difference in their communities, and we’re proud to support their work. Here's a spotlight on just a few of the incredible organisations we fund: 💪 The 4Front Project Empowering those harmed by the criminal justice system to lead a movement for racial equity and healing, 4Front is transforming how society supports communities affected by violence. 🗨️ “Racial inequity drives violence. The criminal justice system drives violence. We are building a powerful youth-led movement centred on healing rather than punishment.” #ImagineChange #YouthForJustice #HealingToThe4FRONT 🌟 Coventry Youth Activists (CYA) CYA is a youth-led disability campaign group fighting to give young disabled people a voice, tackle barriers, and end online discrimination. They’re working with Meta and OFCOM to make online spaces safer for young disabled people. #DigitalSafety #DisabilityAwareness #DisabilityActivism 💜 West End Women and Girls Centre As the only open-access women and girls centre in Newcastle, they mobilise young women with lived experiences of gender inequality to drive change. Their campaigns influence policy and legislation to advance gender equality in the North East. 📣 Don’t miss the Reclaim the Night march on 30th November – a powerful evening of solidarity and empowerment! #GenderEquality #ReclaimTheNight 🚀 We Belong Led by young migrants, We Belong campaigns for the rights of young people affected by the UK immigration system and an end to the hostile environment. Today, they’re part of My Life My Say’s Next Gen Conference'24, collaborating with politicians, cultural figures, and activists to create innovative solutions for youth challenges. #YouthVoices ✊ Level Up A feminist community campaigning for gender justice, Level Up centres the voices of women, trans, and non-binary people to tackle bodily and systemic violence. Together, they’re building a liberated, loving future for everyone. #FeministFuture #GenderJustice 🙌 Let’s continue to celebrate and support the young changemakers shaping a better future for all!

🌟 DfE Curriculum & Assessment Review – Advocating for Equitable Classrooms 🌟 At Paul Hamlyn Foundation, we support so many organisations that are working to create equitable classrooms where all children can learn and thrive. Through our Teacher Development Fund (TDF) and Arts-based Learning Fund, we support innovative arts-based learning and the transformative role of the arts in education. As the government reviews England’s curriculum with an aim to broaden access to music, art, sport, and drama, we’re pleased to contribute our insights and advocate for a refreshed approach that centres the arts in education. In her latest blog, Professor Teresa Cremin, Chair of the TDF Advisory Group, reflects on this pivotal moment. She highlights the opportunity to re-value the arts and foster classrooms that nurture creativity, inclusion and growth for every learner. 🖋️ Teresa writes: “In many ways, education is a story of hope. While over the decades, the characters, settings, and plots differ, the desire of educators to make a difference remains a persistent theme, alongside a collective determination to enable all learners to grow and thrive… Together, we can help shape the next chapter of this story of hope.” 🔗 Read Teresa’s blog – Hope and a Call to Action: https://lnkd.in/eyWdDm-y ✨ Let’s work together to advocate for equitable classrooms where all children can learn and thrive #ArtsEducation #EquitableClassrooms #TeacherDevelopment #CurriculumReview #EducationMatters #PaulHamlynFoundation 📷 James Mulkeen, darts
