A major youth funding programme has now opened (Young Start) delivered by the National Lottery Community Fund, to invest £9 million annually in projects run for and with eight to 24-year-olds. The programme will fund projects that help children and young people build confidence, develop skills, strengthen relationships and take action on issues that matter to them.
Young Start is open to community organisations across Scotland. There are two ways to apply.
Young Start Main Grants provides grants of between £20,001–£150,000 up to three years for projects that meaningfully involve young people. A new Small Grants development fund offers grants of between £300–£20,000 for up to one year to help organisations begin involving young people in their work.
In the last three years, The National Lottery Community Fund has awarded a combined £68.3m of dormant assets and National Lottery funding to 1,275 projects supporting children and young people across Scotland.
Grants are available now through Young Start and other National Lottery programmes.
