Grants for Youth

'Youth' is one of the focus areas of the social pool of the general grants offered by the Council. Specific criteria for youth-related grant applications in this pool are that projects should:

• involve young people in the development and delivery of the project
• encourage constructive use of leisure time
• help young people to gain a better understanding of community, feel an increased sense of belonging as active citizens and contribute positively to society
• promote volunteer opportunities for young people.
