Children and young people are at the heart of our communities. At a time when youth provision is shrinking and mental health challenges are rising, creative experiences foster confidence, curiosity, and empathy. Every child deserves access to cultural spaces that provide sanctuary, inspiration, and opportunity. Yet many face barriers that limit their opportunities.
Be part of building a sustainable fund that ensures every young person can access that transformative power. The Children and Young People’s Fund will help Hampshire Cultural Trust’s experienced team move beyond short term projects and deliver consistent, evidence-based programmes that make a lasting difference.

“I am able to express myself through music. I am able to share my ideas – something I felt unable to do before.”

“A place where I made huge progress in my confidence and made happy memories… The project has made the museum feel like a safe comfortable place to learn new things.”

“My favourite part about coming to the museum is partaking in the photography, and going round the museum looking for inspiration because it helps me see beauty in the world around me”
