Bright New Futures - Opportunity - update

Bright New Futures

Under the Bright New Futures programme, the Big Lottery are making £12 million available for projects across Wales, working with young parents and/or young disabled people aged 14-25.

The programme will fund between £200,000 and £1 million for projects running between three and five years that seek to achieve the following outcomes:
·         Young parents and/or young disabled people are less isolated and have increased wellbeing through improved social networks and stronger relationships
·         Better services are delivered which are joined up and are tailored to meet the individual needs of young parents and/or young disabled people
·         Young parents and/or young disabled people have increased confidence and skills to successfully manage transitions and lead full and active lives
·         Learning from the programme is used to inform future policy, practice and services for young people in transition.

PAVO has registered an interest to bid with the Big Lottery.  We would like to facilitate a partnership bid with third sector organisations delivering services which support the two target groups e.g. young parents and young disabled people. This bid will be aligned to the developments within the Children & Young People’s Partnership. Please register your interest with PAVO to take part in the bid; contact the PAVO Helpdesk on 0845 009 3288 or email info@pavo.org.uk
