Youth Funds
What are the Youth Funds?
‘Youth Funds’ is the name given to the Youth Opportunity Fund and Youth Capital Fund. If you're between 13 and 19 years old and you want to see things improve in your neighbourhood, then Youth Funds are for you. There's £173m available over the next three years to create better activities for teenagers in England – and you can be part of it.
Money for your ideas
When the government did a survey about local facilities for young people in 2005, teenagers agreed that they'd like to have a bigger say in what projects were given the go ahead. So to make sure that your voice is heard, the Youth Opportunity and Youth Capital Funds have been introduced, giving teens the opportunity to give their local facilities a bit of a makeover.
