About SHIFT
What is the SHIFT project?
SHIFT stands for Supporting Hull’s Inspiring Future Talent. It is a youth-led project that gives young people the opportunity to present their own project ideas, receive funding, and deliver activities that promote health and wellbeing for other young people in Hull.
How does SHIFT work?
Young people apply and present their ideas. A judging panel selects the top three projects. Each winning candidate receives support and funding to develop and deliver their project.
How much funding do winners receive?
The top three selected participants each receive £2,500 to help deliver their project, with funds managed by Aspire To Inspire Hull.
What support do participants receive?
Participants receive mentoring, workshops, planning support, and access to wellbeing activities such as boxing sessions designed to reduce stress and build confidence.
Are boxing sessions only for winners?
No. Boxing sessions are also open to applicants who are unsuccessful, so more young people can still benefit from the wellbeing support offered through the project.
