Grants for Empowering Young People in the UK

Deadline: 23-Nov-22

The National Lottery Community Fund (TNLC) is seeking proposals for Empowering Young People to support communities that are having to adapt to the increasing challenges of COVID-19 in Northern Ireland.

• organisations supporting people who are at high risk from COVID-19
• organisations supporting communities most likely to face increased demand and challenges as a direct result of measures to prevent the result of COVID-19
• organisations with high potential to support communities with the direct and indirect impact of COVID-19.

• Get the skills they need for their future: This could be practical skills for jobs they’d like to do. Or life skills, like helping young people deal with difficult situations.
• Have better relationships with their support network and communities: Support networks are just people. These people can be family and friends. Or different groups that help people like doctors, the police, charities, youth groups and teachers. When they say community, they mean:
  • people living in the same area
  • people who have similar interests or life experiences, but might not live in the same area
  • have good health and wellbeing.
• Have good health and wellbeing: When they talk about health,they usually mean physical health. And when they talk about wellbeing, they are normally talking about how a person feels emotionally. So they look at how your project might help young people both physically and mentally.

• Unregistered voluntary or community organisation
• Registered charity (unincorporated)
• Charitable incorporated organisation (CIO)
• Not-for-profit company
