Changemakers - New funding Opportunity for Young People
The award help young people set up and run projects that we hope will make a lasting difference to them as well as to the areas they live in. A Big Boost Award is cash plus the support to help young people make their ideas a reality. Funded by the Big Lottery Fund, the programme awards grants of between £250-£5,000 to help individuals and small groups of people aged between 11-25, deliver projects in their local areas. It aims to reach young people from all backgrounds, to help them set up and run projects that will make a lasting difference. The programme will support a wide range of ideas, from ideas developed at school through to larger scale, community projects (examples may range from a counselling helpline for young people, to a youth magazine, which raises awareness of racism). This could be perfect for sport!
