Money is available to younger people from the City council this year for local projects.
The fund is available to support young people aged 13 – 19 years put into practice their ideas about activities and services they want, things to do and places to go. This year we are asking for bids between £5,000 and £30,000 only and they will be focusing on groups that are in some way disadvantaged.
The money could be used for anything from buying equipment, building a skate park, paying for a residential trip, improving building facilities or providing specialist workshops for your group. There are contact numbers on the form for any queries, please get in touch with any questions.
Adults appear to be needed to fill in the application form (yeah right!) and it has to be in by the end of June. Given that our teenagers often hang out, and yet have built themselves a bike park down by the river, and say that are always on the lookout for places to be, perhaps they might want to give it a go.
