Funding Available For Youth Projects

Funding available for Youth Projects

Do you have concerns about young people in your community and the lack of things for them to do?
Want to receive up to £5,000 to help create / develop youth provision in your community providing young people with some positive diversionary activity?
If the answers are YES then the Youth & Family Support (YFS) service of East Riding of Yorkshire Council would like to invite East Riding Town & Parish Council’s to an event in November to introduce you to our initiatives to help create and develop new youth provision across the East Riding. We currently have four successful project running at Howden, Snaith & Cowick, Gilberdyke and Newport Town & Parish Councils in which we help create and then support the youth provision with Town or Parish Council hosting the youth workers.We offer start up funding, assistance with the recruitment & selection of youth workers, help with gathering the views and wishes of young people to shape the new provision,  access to training, access to a our free equipment loan scheme, support from our community & partnerships officer and  guidance on safeguarding and health & safety issues.
In addition, we would like to make you aware of our Youth Action Board funding from the Dewhirst Charitable Trust  which can provide up to an additional £5,000 to your project as long as the bid is created and developed entirely by young people in your community.
