Calling all young people come and get your pot of cash
Following the success last year of our Young Persons’ Funding Pot, applications are being welcomed for this year’s pot.
Berneslai Homes Young Persons’ Funding Pot aims to benefit young people across the borough to help fund and support activities, trips or equipment chosen by young people to benefit their group, centre or club. This year the funding pot has been created with donations from Inspace Partnerships, D.G Decorators, Bull TCL, Barnsley Federation of Tenants and Residents and other donators.
All applications will be assessed and scored by a panel of young people so that all successful grants will be decided upon by young people, for the benefit of young people. Applications can be made for a maximum of £500 per group or project. Last year there were over 70 applications and 9 successful bids for the Funding Pot.
Director of Business and Customer Services Dave Fullen adds, “We are grateful to all our donators who have made this positive initiative possible. The funding stream will continue to positively effect and encourage the engagement of young people across the borough and improve provision within our communities.”
