To secure A Fairer Future, we offer social investment to organisations who are working to address systemic injustice and inequity. In A Fairer Future, our work supports towards three impact goals:
- Improved systems, policy and practice
- Organisations are strengthened to use their power to tackle systemic injustice and inequity
- Organisations work together and build movements to tackle systemic injustice and inequity
Diversity, Equity and Inclusion:
We commit to investing into organisations led by communities experiencing racial inequity, as well as building community wealth. We are particularly interested in supporting work that also contributes to our other priorities in Creative, Confident Communities and Our Natural World.
Climate change:
Across all our aims, we are keen to support work which addresses the causes and impacts of climate change.

Involving young people
We want the views and voices of children and young people to be at the heart of our work in Children and young people’s rights. To help us do this, we will use the Involving Young People Values to support our decision-making. These were developed by Esmée’s Involving Young People Collective and offer guidance and learning for organisations on co-production with young people.
We want to support organisations and work delivering impact in line with our priorities:
There are also specific opportunities we are proactively exploring:
- The expansion of impact-focused models that address market failure in early years education and children’s care.
- Mission-locked organisations who are improving outcomes for young people at risk of school exclusion or in contact with the care or youth justice system, along with earlier support for disabled young people and those with special educational needs.
- The provision of high-quality, person-centred, housing for children and young people or leaving care, and those in contact with or leaving the youth justice system.
