Hope For Cheetham Youth Participatory Budgeting

100+ children and young people. 21 youth organisations. £200,000 up for grabs. What could go wrong? Not a lot it seems. Shared Future were happy to support Choose For Cheetham 2025, after the steering group decided to use participatory budgeting (PB) to select who should get funded.

Hope for Cheetham is a community-led, long-term project with a bold vision to create a Cheetham Hill where children and young people growing up here “are empowered and supported by the entire community and system to achieve their hopes and ambitions.”

Led by the locally based Hope For Cheetham steering group, and with youth empowerment at front and centre of their mission, £200k of money from the Youth Endowment Fund and #iwill was granted to projects in Cheetham Hill, North Manchester in February 2025.
