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

— Young disabled people

The deadline for submitting an application under the current theme is 9th June 2006.
