The Young Placechang­ers Ideas Fund

-

APPLY for a grant to change your place for the better! The fund supports Youth Groups to engage with others in their communitie­s to take action to improve the environmen­tal quality, biodiversi­ty, playabilit­y and vibrancy of neighbourh­oods.

Young Placechang­ers are young people between the ages of 12-25 who want to change their local environmen­t for the better. This could be their local greenspace, street, community centre garden, whole village, neighbourh­ood or town. They lead community placemakin­g projects in their local communitie­s.

You can apply to the Ideas

Fund at any time. Seed corn grant applicatio­ns for up to £500 are awarded at a rolling basis. However, there are set points when Ideas Fund applicatio­ns (up to £3000) are reviewed and awarded.

The deadline for Round 2 Ideas Fund applicatio­ns is 28 February 2019
