IVAR and The Ubele Initiative are pleased to announce that we are accepting applications for this year’s Jane Hatfield Award.
This Award is an annual grant of £5,000 for a team of young researchers to investigate issues or topics related to community, social action and social justice. It is targeted at young researchers (between 18 – 27yrs) from Black and racially minoritised communities. This year we are making two Awards of £5,000 for 2025 to support two separate pieces of research.
You can find out more about the Award and how to apply here. The application process is open until Monday 24th February (5pm). You can also download the research carried out by previous Award recipients on the Jane Hatfield webpage here.
With thanks to Impact on Urban Health and City Bridge Foundation for funding the Award.
The Award is named in memory and celebration of Jane Hatfield: Trustee and then Chair of IVAR from 2006 to 2021. She was a passionate and valued member of the voluntary sector. Her contributions strengthened the sector and included – among many things – supporting the next generation of researchers and activists. As Chair of IVAR, she advocated for the organisation to proactively support people in the early stages of their careers, and always pushed IVAR’s thinking.
