GRANTS are available for youth projects across Warwickshire.
The Warwickshire Youth Council Project Grant Fund is aimed at supporting community and voluntary organisations that provide essential services for young people aged 11 to 17.
It is designed to strengthen youth provision in three key areas – crime and safety, experience in schools, and mental health. The funding supports projects running over a 12-month period, ensuring initiatives are accessible to young people at times and in locations that suit their needs. Grants of up to £5,000 are available with applications open until Sunday February 8.
Warwickshire County Council’s leader Coun George Finch said: “As a child friendly county, we are dedicated to ensuring young people have the support and opportunities they need to thrive. This grant fund will enable local organisations to deliver projects that promote good mental health, improve safety and support positive experiences in school, helping to secure the long-term wellbeing of Warwickshire’s young people.
“We encourage all eligible organisations to apply and make a real difference in the lives of our children and young people.”
To be eligible for a grant, organisations must ensure their projects are inclusive, accessible without a referral system, and aim to make a positive impact on the lives of young people.
