The Y SPEAK Consultation Fund is a government funded scheme which supports the involvement
of young people in decision-making at national, regional and local levels and helps
to ensure that they have a say in the policies and services that affect them.

 

 

 

Changemakers took over the delivery of Y SPEAK in September 2004 from the DfES and
added the Youth Led strand of grants to the existing grants to organisations. Youth
Led grants are awarded directly to young people to design, set up and manage their
own consultation projects.

 

 

 

The deadlines for applications are 30 June and 29 September 2005.
