About us
Who we are
Blagrave is a Charity Incorporated Organisation (CIO) dedicated to serving young people who are challenging and experiencing injustice in their individual lives and within society. We hold investments of c. £44 million, which along with other income sources, funds all the work we do including grant-making. We fund work nationally, as well as having a specific focus on several counties in the South East of England.
Our mission is to promote and empower young people as powerful forces for change, and support work that ensures their voices are heard in matters that affect them. We do this primarily by providing grants to organisations working with young people, influencing youth policy alongside them and investing directly in young changemakers. We also increasingly act as a facilitator and agent for change, bringing groups of young people and partners together to explore, share and learn together.
We are committed to having young people drive our mission at every level of the organisation – we currently have a young and diverse trustee Board, including 4 Trustees under 26, that reflects diversity of class, lived experience and ethnicity. We also currently have c. 18 paid advisors working with us to make decisions on who we fund.
