Part 1: Your Project

1.1 Please summarise what you are seeking from us

Word limit: 75

Grant funding to cover the cost of paying for articles (editorial contributions) from any young Friend aged 16-35, whether or not they are part of Young Friends General Meeting.

Tell us more about your project and the impact it will have on those it aims to help, and how it will bring about significant change

Word limit: 600

The Friend, the weekly magazine for Quakers, welcomes and relies on editorial contributions from all Friends. No payment is usually made for such contributions. However, we do not receive many editorial contributions from young Friends, and as a result their concerns and insights are under-represented in our pages. It also means that young Friends are less likely to read or subscribe to The Friend, because there are not many articles that speak for or to them. We have been made aware that the financial pressures on young Friends, whether they are studying or in employment, are much greater now. Most students have to work during term-time to supplement their student loans, and those in employment may be on insecure contracts and usually have to pay a much higher proportion of their income on accommodation than previous generations. We therefore wish to be able to offer a payment of £200 for a published single-page article or £400 for a two-page article, to engage and encourage them to write for The Friend. With more content from young Friends, it should create an increased readership and subscriber base for The Friend, as well as encouraging more young Friends to write and reinvigorating the spiritual life of Britain Yearly Meeting.

1.5 Will the project continue after initial funding has ended?

YesNo

1.5b Please give details of how you plan to continue after initial funding has ended

Word limit: 75

We currently have no financial resources to make these payments, but we anticipate that with more articles from young Friends and refreshed editorial content, there will be an increase in readership and subscriptions. This would result in greater future revenues from which payments to young Friends can continue to be made.

1.6 How will the project be monitored and evaluated?

Please give details. Word limit: 75

A record will be kept of articles published and the payments made to young Friends. Our aim is to publish one or two articles from a young Friend each month, a total of 18 over a year. At the end of the year, the editor will report to the trustees of The Friend. Such report can be shared with the Edith M. Ellis Trust.
