Cash 4 Youth - what is it?

 

Cash 4 Youth is Ealing's name for the government’s Youth Opportunity Fund and Youth Capital Fund.

 

Cash 4 Youth offers young people aged 13-19 the opportunity to apply for funding for projects, activities and equipment throughout the Borough. Even better, young people recommend and decide how the money is spent.

You can apply for anything from £500 - £10,000 from the Youth Opportunity Fund to support activities and up to £40,000 from the Youth Capital Fund to be spent on large items of equipment, major refurbishment and building. It is also possible to make applications that combine the two funds.
The main purpose of the funding is to...

Give a voice to young people, particularly disadvantaged young people,

in relation to things to do and places to go.


 

Improve things to do and places to go, in line with what young people want in their neighbourhood.


 

Provide opportunities for young people to develop their confidence, knowledge, skills and abilities, and gain recognition for them.
