Bartlett Group Fund 2025

We’ve invested £180,000 in 6 Leeds and Bradford community organisations thanks to our partnership with the Bartlett Foundation. 

The Bartlett Group Fund supports organisations to address the challenges young people in vulnerable circumstances face. The funding is flexible, so organisations can put it towards what’s most helpful for their work. That could be for specific projects, to support the organisation’s capacity and resilience or to cover core costs. 

The organisations awarded funding, and the areas they’re working in, are:  

• • • Basis Yorkshire, Bradford 

• • • Get Out More CIC, Bradford 

• • • Leeds GATE Gypsy and Traveller Exchange, Leeds 

• • • Reestablish, Leeds 

• • • The Valley Project, Bradford 

• • • Women’s Health Matters, Leeds 

The funded activities include:  

• • • Improving the sustainability of services and support for young people who’ve experienced child sexual exploitation. 

• • • A pilot education project offering Gypsy and Traveller young people short courses on topics they’re interested in exploring as future careers. 

• • • A development programme to upskill practitioners and volunteers to make projects more accessible for children and young people with disabilities and additional needs. 

Each organisation has been awarded 2 or 3 years of funding to support their delivery and development longer-term, and we look forward to sharing their successes and the impact of their grants. 

We’re grateful to the Bartlett Foundation for prioritising multi-year, flexible funding and trusting that organisations know best how to invest in and support their communities.
