The Department of Education in Northern Ireland is to make [a number of grants available](https://fundraising.co.uk/2016/11/15/google-grants-for-charities/)
for capital projects across the voluntary youth sector. The Department of Education(
DE) pays grants to voluntary youth organisations towards facilities for the Youth
Service.

To be eligible your organisation must be registered with the local education and
library board or receive funding from the Youth Council for Northern Ireland.

2006 seems to be a big year for minor works. Already this year we have seen the 
Community Access Grants open by Disability Action. On its way is the capital element
of the Modernisation Fund and the Big Lottery Fund’s capital programme both also
likely to be for minor works and refurbishment.

The extension of Awards for All to £10,000 is also a potential source of funds for
minor works and refurbishment. Grants assist with the costs of refurbishing premises,
improving facilities or access for people with disabilities bringing the property
up to current health, safety and fire authority standards. The maximum rate paid
is 85 percent.

Application forms are now available for the 2006/07 Minor Works Scheme. The closing
date for the receipt of applications is 5pm on Friday 9th June 2006
