The Community Foundation is inviting nominations for the Northumberland High Sheriff’s Award Scheme to reward youth organisations in Northumberland that encourage and provide positive pursuits for young people, providing them with role models and helping them to develop into upstanding citizens.
It makes awards to community youth projects and other similar not-for-profit organisations in Northumberland which engage young people aged 10 to 25 in constructive and developmental activities, encourage their personal development and deter them from anti-social activities. It also acknowledges the work of volunteers and encourages the development of young volunteers.
The funding panel for this round will meet in January 2023, with grant awards made in February 2023.
Award winners are encouraged to attend a presentation event in March 2023 to celebrate the work of young people in Northumberland.
