#iWill Fund Learning Hub: Systems

This work aims to develop our understanding of barriers and enablers in building and strengthening sustained youth social action. It supports the identification of emerging practice and the testing of potential new solutions as well as helping guide investment decisions.

Systems Mapping and Funder Collaborations

Co-production workshops, supported by research briefings, aimed to build the understanding of barriers to, and opportunities for, embedding and sustaining youth social action in three priority themes: education, place, and the relationship between youth social action and ‘all ages’ social action. The workshops ran from September 2018 - March 2019, and were attended by Match Funders, invited grantees, and other invited stakeholders.

Alongside this, a series of ‘LabStorms’ were offered to Match Funders to enable a collaborative approach toward identifying common challenges, and to find and share actionable responses to them. The #iwill LabStorms ran between April 2019 – January 2022.
