New on the website: funding, SHAPE and four practical guides
A new funding hub and funder enquiry form, a page on what SHAPE can review, ENJOY SUCCESS as the sixth pathway's name and four practical guides.
By IT’S POSSIBLE NOWPublished
On 1 November 2026 we added a funding hub, a funder enquiry form, a page on what SHAPE can review and four practical guides. We also refreshed the home page and changed the name of the sixth NEET to OPPORTUNITY pathway to ENJOY SUCCESS.
Funding
The funding hub separates two different questions. Find funding points community organisations, individuals and businesses to the official places to search, and explains how to check eligibility. Fund or partner with us is for organisations considering support for our work, with a form that records an enquiry and gives a reference number. Before any agreement or public listing, our staff check the organisation’s details against public records and its official website.
IT’S POSSIBLE NOW does not award grants. An enquiry is the start of a conversation, not a commitment by either side.
SHAPE
SHAPE now has its own page. It sets out what people with lived experience can test and improve: workplaces, recruitment, websites, technology, services, physical environments, communications and customer journeys, with examples for each area and how the scope of a piece of work is agreed.
The six pathways
The six pathways are LEARN, BUILD, WORK, EARN, SHAPE and ENJOY SUCCESS. ENJOY SUCCESS is the new name for the sixth pathway: friendship, creativity, wellbeing, belonging and celebrating progress from the start. Existing links to the sixth pathway still work.
On the Youth Voice page, each thing the proposed panel would do now has an example and a link to a related form or page, such as sharing a barrier, suggesting an improvement or seeing what happened to earlier ideas.
Four guides
- Not in education, employment or training? How to take your next step
- How to find funding for a community project in Greater Manchester
- How your ideas can shape opportunities at IT’S POSSIBLE NOW
- Making work experience more accessible: a practical starting checklist
The home page
The home page has a new opening section and a new heading typeface, and it now shows the latest update, like this one, under the opening section. The partner and pathway sections now include photographs. The people shown are illustrative, not participants.
A next step
It is free, takes a few minutes and commits you to nothing.
