**The collaborative funding programme Young Women in Mind 2026-2028 is now open 
for applications.**

The programme has been set up by the Pilgrim Trust, the Prudence Trust and the Julia
Rausing Trust. It is only open to UK registered charities that already deliver therapeutic
mental health services and meet all the core criteria.

It is designed to support these charities to strengthen and scale effective, age-
appropriate, and gender informed mental health support for girls and young women
aged 14–25 in the UK.
