Projects do not have to be led by a youth group. Applications should be for a project that lasts up to a year, but it can be a one-off event. Projects can deliver opportunities in a range of contexts and settings: for example online, extracurricular, in clubs and groups, informally, or as part of structured programmes.

Core costs are eligible if the other criteria are met, including how the project meets the principles of great youth social action.

We would encourage eligible groups to start an online application to this fund ASAP. You can apply HERE
