What is the
Forest Youth Activities Fund?
The Forest
Youth Activities Fund is designed to help provide activities in the Forest
district that make a positive difference to young people, and to support young
people to make decisions, to give grants and to lead projects.
There is £50,000 available. The process is an open
application process to all young people living in the Forest of Dean district.
Therefore a group of young people could get together to apply for funding,
rather than just being open to established groups.
You can apply for a maximum of £5,000 per application.
You can only apply once in each financial year (assuming that this funding
continues beyond March 2012). This is to ensure distribution to as many young
people as possible.
