Deadline: 9-Oct-22
The Community Foundation is now inviting applications for its Grants to organisations in Tyne & Wear Supporting Children and Young People aged 10-25.
The Tyne & Wear High Sheriff’s Awards Scheme rewards youth organisations that encourage and provide positive pursuits for young people, providing them with role models and helping them to develop into upstanding citizens.
To achieve this, the Fund makes awards to community youth projects and other similar not-for-profit organisations that engage young people aged 10-25 in constructive and developmental activities that encourage their personal development and deter them from anti-social activities. The Fund also acknowledges the work of volunteers and encourages the development of young volunteers.
Award winners are encouraged to attend a presentation event in March to celebrate the work of young people in Tyne & Wear. Awards are made to voluntary and community organisations, and registered charities, based and working in Tyne & Wear. Applicants must focus their work with children and young people aged 10-25.
