Overview

EveryYouth (registered charity 1201811, incorporated 11 May 2022) is the national charity for 16-25 year olds facing homelessness in the UK. With annual income of approximately £1 million and total charitable expenditure of £1.24 million (2024), the organisation operates as a network coordinator that distributes funding to local charities. EveryYouth has distributed £6,747,655 to local charities across its network, supporting 13,963 young people and helping 8,686 achieve their goals. The organisation employs 9 staff members and works with approximately 20 partner charities across the UK to deliver housing, employability, and mental health support. EveryYouth's network reaches more than 40,000 young people annually through partner organisations, providing housing, employability, and mental health support to young people facing homelessness.

Funding Priorities

Grant Programmes

EveryYouth operates three main funding programmes distributed through its network of partner charities:

EveryYouth Homed (Housing Fund)

• Provides bursaries and bond schemes to help young people overcome prohibitive upfront costs of securing tenancies
• Offers move-on grants for essentials like kitchen appliances, white goods, and bedding
• Provides one-to-one support from specialist Housing Officers
• 255 young people moved into independent living through this programme

EveryYouth Employed (Employability Fund)

• Provides specialist coaches to help young people become job-ready
• Offers bursaries to overcome costs associated with getting into work or education
• Covers course fees, bus fares to interviews, and other small financial barriers
• Focuses on helping young people achieve long-term independence through employment

EveryYouth Healthy (Health Fund)

• Provides individually tailored counselling quickly to help young people cope with trauma
• Helps young people better engage with available services
• Improves emotional resilience
• Pro Bono Economics estimates the fund could generate almost £1M in economic benefits from reduced NHS demand and increased work productivity

• Operates in Bristol, East Anglia, Sheffield and Scotland
• Programme expanded by nearly 22% in 2024, creating 10 new bedspaces

Governance and Leadership

Structure: EveryYouth operates with trustees, 9 employees, and volunteers.

Senior Staff Compensation:

• 1 employee earning £90,000-£100,000
• 1 employee earning £70,000-£80,000

Organisational Approach: EveryYouth operates through organisations embedded in their communities, with no expensive head office and no one size fits all thinking.

How to Apply to Everyyouth

How to Apply

This funder does not have a public application process.

EveryYouth operates as a closed network of approximately 20 pre-selected partner charities across the UK. Funding is distributed exclusively to these network members to deliver EveryYouth's three main programmes (Homed, Employed, and Healthy) and the Future Builders programme to young people aged 16-25 facing homelessness.

There is no evidence of an open grant application process for new organisations to join the network or receive funding. The network appears to be by invitation or selection rather than open application.

Organisations interested in the network would need to align with EveryYouth's mission of supporting young people aged 16-25 facing homelessness and would likely be vetted for their track record in this area.

Getting on Their Radar

No specific information is publicly available about how organisations can join the EveryYouth network or get on their radar for potential partnership. The network structure suggests partnerships may be formed through:

• Existing relationships and reputation in the youth homelessness sector
• Geographic coverage needs (EveryYouth seeks UK-wide reach)
• Organisational capacity to deliver measurable outcomes aligned with the programme areas
• Community embeddedness and local expertise

However, these are inferences based on the organisation's stated approach rather than documented processes.

Application Success Factors

Not applicable for external organisations - EveryYouth does not accept applications from organisations outside its pre-established network.

For network members, success appears to be measured through:

• Measurable outcomes: EveryYouth emphasises funding measurable outcomes for young people
• Service delivery: Helping young people achieve housing, employment, and mental health goals
• Geographic reach: Contributing to UK-wide coverage
• Community embeddedness: Operating as local organisations with deep community roots

The organisation supported 2,309 young people through its programmes in 2024, with 8,686 young people achieving their goals since inception.

Key Takeaways for Grant Writers

• Not a traditional funder: EveryYouth is a network coordinator that distributes funding exclusively through approximately 20 pre-selected partner charities
• No public application process: Organisations cannot apply to receive funding from EveryYouth - the network is closed and appears to operate by invitation only
• Focus on youth homelessness: All funding supports young people aged 16-25 facing homelessness across four programme areas
• Outcomes-driven: Emphasis on funding measurable outcomes rather than activities
• Network model: EveryYouth positions itself as a small coordinating organisation that achieves scale through local partner organisations
• Geographic coverage: Network spans UK-wide with regional partners in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland
• Alternative for grant seekers: Organisations seeking funding for youth homelessness work should consider applying to the network member charities directly (e.g., Depaul UK, St Basils, Llamau) rather than to EveryYouth itself
