Paul Hamlyn Foundation Fund

We are really proud to be supported by the Paul Hamlyn Foundation right now. Their three-year Youth Fund grant is helping Rural Media platform more voices of rural young people especially those facing compounded marginalisation. Their funding is strengthening the way we use creativity and media to empower young people, aged 14 to 25, to gain confidence, connections, and skills. 

Paul Hamlyn's support has already helped us work with young people experiencing mental health challenges and neurodivergence, and strengthened our safeguarding practices. We've established a Creative Collective as a way for rural creatives aged 18-30 to shape our future projects, and later this year we're launching a Youth Advisory Group for under 18s to make sure rural young people we work with have a direct say in shaping Rural Media's future plans.
