How to manage your funding

If we fund your work, we’ll check in to see how things are going and what you’re learning. You can read our guidance on how to manage your funding. 

We’d like to hear from the children and young people you’re working with. You do not have to involve them in your reporting, but you can if you and the children or young people want to. 

For example, they could tell us about their experience by: 

• making a video or using other creative media 
• writing a few paragraphs 
• using photos and quotes 

Children or young people should choose how they want to be involved.
