It offers grant funding to organisations based in that area, with a particular focus on work that supports children and young people to thrive and promotes positive mental health.
Projects that empower young people by involving them in designing or delivering activities are welcomed, as are initiatives that strengthen social interaction, enable conversations around difficult topics, or encourage community coming-together and cohesion. The fund is also open to broader neighbourhood activity that brings people and places together to address locally identified issues.
Grants are available from £500 up to £5,000, allowing groups to apply for direct project costs and fully recover their costs so that organisations remain sustainable. The fund specifies that small voluntary bodies, community groups, or small charities with charitable purposes, a governing document, a bank account in the group’s name with two non-related signatories, and annual accounts are eligible to apply.
For local groups in Scarborough looking to activate community energy, strengthen youth mental health, improve peer support, enable young voices, or bring people from across neighbourhoods together, this fund represents a realistic and accessible opportunity. Organisations with the capacity to deliver meaningful, locally-rooted work and a clear sense of the need in their community are well placed to benefit from this chance to secure modest but meaningful funding.
