To be eligible organisations must be registered with the local education and library
board or receive funding from the Youth Council for Northern Ireland and be able
to demonstrate the operation of a Youth Service Programme for at least nine hours
per week for a minimum of 30 weeks per annum.

Grant aid can 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, towards child protection measures or meeting
needs of young people within Section 75/those at greater risk of social exclusion/
marginalisation.

## Size of grants

The size of grants will be dependent on whether the organisation owns the building
or the length of lease on the property. The grant scheme does not provide funding
for equipment.

Grants are available in two categories:

 *  **Minor Works** – scheme costing up to a maximum of £150,000 including VAT and
   fees.
     
 *  **Major Works** – scheme costing over £150,000
