Camelot looking for good Irish applications
Howard Lake | 14 May 2006 | News
Camelot Foundation is seeking good quality application from Northern Ireland for their Transforming Lives grants programme which closes to applications on 9 June 2006. The Foundation is now launching its Summer 2006 theme of: Out of town, out of mind? – Promoting the social inclusion of young people in rural areas
The Camelot Foundation recognises that young people living in rural areas have limited opportunities and are excluded from accessing key services. They envisage that most applications will fall in the range £10,000 – £75,000. A list of future themes for the remainder of 2006, along with deadlines, are on their website.
They give priority to the following kinds of activity, designed to promote the social inclusion of young people:

— Creating an ordinary life – access to services
— Giving a voice – enabling young people to express their needs and hopes, and influence the way services are provided
— Taking part in community and civic life – in neighbourhoods, local and regional areas and nationally
— Developing young people’s skills
— Freedom from fear and discrimination
Within the young people’s theme the Foundation’s priority groups are:
— Young parents or those at risk of becoming young parents
— Young exiles, newly arrived in the UK
— Young people with mental health problems
— Young disabled people
The deadline for submitting an application under the current theme is 9th June 2006.
