Youth Challenge Fund announced

Building Communities in Coldharbour are pleased to announce the launch of the Youth Challenge Fund. The fund aims to improve youth skills and employment opportunities by delivering accredited training and personal development support to young people.

The aim is to  implement a targeted approach to working with young people between the ages of 16-30, by launching the Youth Challenge Fund, a pot of money designed to commission short term projects lasting three to four months, that help young people to acquire skills and abilities that will equip them for the world of work.

Grants of between £3,000 and £12,000 are available to organisations that are able to work with young people who live in and around the Loughborough Junction area. We will also give priority to applications from service providers with strong local roots, and to those who deliver their activities, and base their projects locally.
