Positive Activities for Children and Young People Grant Funding 2009/10
Phase 2 fundingFollowing Phase 1 of these grants, which were allocated prior to the County Council elections, Phase 2 has now been launched.
Applications are invited from voluntary sector organisations working with children and young people, be they charities, faith groups, the local PTA or voluntary sector youth clubs for funding from their local County Councillor. Each Councillor has an allocation of up to £3,500.
Councillors will consider applications as they are received. Early application is advisable. There is no closing date but spending must be completed by 31 March 2010.
The groups must be providing positive activities places to go and things to do for children and young people aged between 8 and 19 years.
The concept fits with the Council’s current piloting of local community forums for children and young people in areas around Worcestershire. The local forums aim to pick up on need, identify gaps and direct more effectively energies and resources to provide better positive activities for children and young people in these very local communities.
There are clear criteria and organisations applying for the grant are being asked to demonstrate how their proposed project will help children and young people and make a difference to children and young people’s lives.
Funding will support revenue activities only. Capital expenditure such as refurbishment of buildings and youth shelters will not be funded through these grants.
