The Corra Foundation has expanded its YoYo grant programme to provide new funding opportunities for young people aged 10 to 18 in Scotland, especially those affected by drugs and alcohol.
Grants of up to £10,000 are available to enable grassroots and community organisations to run projects that empower young people and their families, build community connections, and ensure their voices are heard.
Projects funded through this programme must start within 12 months of receiving the grant offer and be completed within 12 months from their start date. Organisations applying must be incorporated not‑for‑profit entities such as registered charities, community interest companies or trusts. They should have a history of delivering services specifically for children, young people and families impacted by substance misuse.
To be eligible, project proposals must aim to create empowering conditions for young people and families—this might mean setting up participation forums, ensuring their voices are involved in planning and decision‑making, or offering unique opportunities like trips, events, or activities that lead to lasting community engagement. Projects can also focus on strengthening community connections, helping under‑represented groups participate in democratic or planning processes, or running peer research or information campaigns that influence local or national policy.
This funding is an excellent chance for organisations already working with affected communities to scale their impact, enhance inclusion, and support the wellbeing of young people and families through meaningful, participatory projects.
