The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions have taken a huge toll on the lives of younger Londoners. From mental health to education, life has been turned upside down by the pandemic.

Following engagement with young leaders in London, a series of creative events will take place from Saturday 21 August to Monday 30 August 2021, to give Young Londoners the space to connect.

Events will allow Young Londoners to share stories and experiences of the pandemic and explore journeys out of COVID-19, including the vaccine. Events will be supported by the GLA, Public Health England and NHS London.

The following organisations will be hosting events:

Out of COVID-19: Health Conversations with Young Londoners themes

  • The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on mental health and wellbeing
  • The impact of the COVID-19 restrictions on the lives of younger Londoners
  • Wider health issues that are important to younger Londoners
  • How to get back to normal, including conversations on vaccines

Applications are now closed.

This grant programme is for London based organisations with annual turnover of less than £500,000.

You can apply for up to £1,000 to support you to organise an event between Monday 23 and Monday 30 August 2021 in response to the festival themes.

Grants will be allocated to ensure diverse representation in the activity taking place, as well as considerations of geographical spread.

The Prospectus is available to view on our website.
