The Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust has launched the Youth Fund in Wales to support young people across the most disadvantaged communities in the country.

The Millennium Stadium Charitable Trust provides financial support to inspiring projects throughout Wales. It is due to launch a new fund, aimed at disadvantaged young people, to stand alongside its Local and Regional Fund.

The Trust is keen to support those committed to working with young people in Wales and is particularly interested in supporting projects that improve the quality of life of people and communities facing disadvantage.

Grants of up to £5,000 will support projects costs, volunteer costs, the purchase of equipment and training costs that enable the delivery of projects working with people age 14 to 19.

Priority will be given to projects from ethnic minorities and people with disabilities, and for projects in the areas of the greatest disadvantage.

The Trust’s Local fund has also opened for applications, and will be accepting submissions for environmental, community, arts and sports grants until 12 January 2018.

The one-off Youth Grants will open from 1 January 2018. The deadline for applications is 1 April 2018.
