Turn Your Ideas Into Reality

Nightjar Youth offers funding to help you create, grow, and lead. We’ve made it as simple as possible — each type of funding has its own process, so you only share what’s really needed.

How it Works

Creative INternships

Get paid to learn, create, and build experience in the arts.

If you’re ready to take the next step in your creative journey, our internships are a chance to gain hands-on experience, grow your skills, and connect with mentors.

ACS Event Funding

Up to £500 to run events for your African Caribbean Society.

From food nights and music jams to talks, workshops, or culture days — we’ll help your ACS make it happen.

Starter Grants

Got an idea but not sure where to begin? We’ll back you.

Starter Grants are here to help you take the leap. Whether it’s a new project, a creative idea, or a community initiative, we’ll give you funding, mentoring, and support to bring it to life.

How It Works…

We try to keep our funding process as simple as possible.


  1. Fill out a short form to share your vision.
  2. Have an informal chat with Nayah and a mentor about your goals.
  3. A small panel of youth and African Activities staff will make the final decision.

We’re looking for enthusiasm, potential, and passion — not perfection.
