The information event is being held in the offices of the NICVA on 10 December 2007 at 2:30 to encourage and inform potential applicants.
Peter Argall and Debbie Walmsley who manage the Young People’s Grants Programmes at Comic Relief are visiting Northern Ireland to inform organisations about what makes a successful application to Comic Relief. The session has been organised by by Joe Blake, Comic Relief’s regional adviser in N Ireland.
Comic Relief provides funding to young people under the following programmes:
Young People with Mental Health Problems
Young People with Alcohol Problems
Young People Exploited through Prostitution, Trafficking and the Internet –

Comic Relief are particularly keen to hear from projects in this area of domestic violence. Their programmes will fund projects, including staff costs, for up to three years.
The afternoon’s session will provide an insight from the funders themselves into what they are looking to fund in each programme and how to go about applying. Information will also be available on Comic Relief’s other programmes.
The Information Session takes place at NICVA at 2.30pm on 10 December 2007 at NICVA, 61 Duncairn Gardens, Belfast, BT15 2GB. If you do wish to come along please leave details with Joe Blake at
