The second phase of the Early Intervention and Prevention Youth Justice Grants for local based initiatives is now open. This grants program is a partnership between Youth Justice Reform (Department for Education, Children and Young People) and the Brighton community. The grant funds are held on behalf of the Brighton Alive network and the Brighton community by Brighton Council.

Following the co-design of the Grant Guidelines, Selection Criteria, and Brighton Council’s Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) ‘Open Space’ workshop in November 2025, we will be hitting the ground running for Phase 2. Some things to note are that you do not need to have participated in any of the previous work last year; you can apply for a grant in Phase 2 if you applied in Phase 1; anyone in the Brighton community can submit an application – including community members and you do not need a fully formed idea in order to come to the workshop – in fact you can come with no idea and be open to what you hear on the day
