The deadline for applications for the next round of the Youth Bank Fund has been moved to 8th October to allow organisations time to consult with Young People to get the bids done. The fund is the replacement to the £250 that groups previously got from the youth registration scheme.
The Youth Bank provides a greater opportunity for Youth Service Providers to deliver effective non-formal and informal learning through better access to facilities and resources. Voluntary groups can therefore use this money to help with insurance or rent for their buildings. Where equipment is linked to curriculum development this will help to improve the engagement of young people and in turn help to increase membership and attendance by young people.
Each club/project will be eligible to apply once a year and can be awarded money to spend either on Capital equipment or Revenue resources. In each round there are three areas (mid, north and south) and in each area there is one grant of up to £500 and eight grants of up to £250. Applications must:
- Have evidence of curriculum development linked to the Youth Work Curriculum Statement for Wales: Educative/empowering /expressive/participative and Powys and Learning Areas
- Be completed by the young people and presented to the youth bank committee
- Have a minimum of 8 young people involved with the project
- Be registered with PAVO or PCC Youth Services to be eligible for funding to fulfil Health and Safety criteria
If you have queries about the scheme or would like support from PAVO to complete an application please contact Andrew Davies 01686 626220 or andrew.davies(at)pavo.org.uk
Completed applications should be sent to: Rebecca Jayne (Area Youth Worker), St Johns Offices, Fiveways, Llandrindod wells, Powys LD1 5LG or 0777567889 or rebecca.jayne(at)powys.gov.uk
