Having read https://www.phf.org.uk/funds/shared-ground-fund/#funding-priorities it's very clear we are 'staying safe'
What do they want?
"We want to positively influence the way that people think, feel and talk about migration and integration so new solutions can be developed." "Challenging the hostile environment – taking action to end hostile environment policies that have proved to be unjust and ineffective" "•A champion of innovation and learning – taking risks, supporting experimentation, and modelling a commitment to reflection and learning"
"our focus at PHF is on the successful integration of people who have migrated to the UK"
We need to talk about how we are building channels for information
"the decisions and actions of people who mirgrate themselves (as central actors in the system"
We are "Supporting Young leadership of people with lived experience of mirgration"
Please provide a brief title for your proposal (max 10 words) Word limit:10
Kick-start a self-funding activity for young migrants to give back
Please provide a brief description of your proposal (max 100 words) Word limit:100
We've build technology that allows groups to smoothly and effectively translate subtitles downloaded from the BBC.
We will run translation clubs in schools for recently migrated students. The kids love feeling their skills are finally valued.
We've also build the website for families to watch the results at home at the same time as the show. This subtitle service excellent resource for families to bond around UK media and also becomes a channel for other information.
Schools are desperate for interventions for these populations and we can make the clubs self funding once the content reaches a critical mass.

Fund Priorities
Please briefly describe what your organisation does, its main achievements over the last five years, and your track record of achieving a positive impact on the systems, policies or debates affecting young people who migrate and/or communities experiencing high levels of migration. Word limit:250
We have no track record around migration. None. (Other that piloting this project, obviously). We also don't have any evidence we've helped with policies. This project is about increasing leadership and investment for young migrants and access and information for older ones while building an infrastructure for highly fluid communities.
We have a track record for launching and running team-based interventions in schools and making them self-funding. Our White Water Writers project hasn't used grant funding for several years and has run week-long workshops for over 1000 young people since then, with signifiant research evidence of long term rises in attainment.
In general, our organisation designs and delivers interventions for education and health. Our main achievements include:
