Howard Lake | 12 May 2006 | News
The Big Lottery Fund’ Grants to Organisations strand of the Young People’s Fund programme in England will come to end this summer. Organisations still wishing to apply have until Friday 14 July 2006 to submit their outline proposal forms, giving the basic information about the project.
The last awards to voluntary organisations working with young people between the ages of eleven and 25 years old from the Grants to Organisations strand will be made in December 2006.
The key consideration for all applications is that young people are involved at all stages of project development, from planning to evaluation.

When launched in 2004 as part of the Young People’s Fund, Grants to Organisations aimed to distribute £40 million of lottery funds to groups working with young people in England.
Phase 2 of the Young People’s Fund will open for applications in 2007 and will continue to support innovative projects led by and for young people in England. The Fund will make available £81 million to help support local, regional and national projects that improve local communities and offer more opportunities to young people.
£19 million will go towards the final roll out of the School Sport Co-ordinators programme that facilitates sports partnerships working together to improve children’s health and self-esteem, as well as building sporting and social skills through group activities.
