How to apply

  • you and your friends need to come up with an idea for a way to spend the funds.
  • talk it through with the adult or group who is going to support you
  • call Youth and Play to get an application form - the contact number is on the right 
  • fill in the application (you can add an extra two sheets of A4 with additional information but no more)
  • send you application form to:

    Youth and Play Service
    Riverside House
    Woolwich High Street

How much can I apply for?

You can apply for money from the Youth Opportunity Fund (£500 - £5000) for things like:

  • residential trips
  • a dance tutor
  • cost of hiring recording studio to produce a CD etc.
You can apply for money from the Youth Capital Fund (£500- £10,000) for things like:

  • refurbishment or improvement for facilities for young people to access
  • ICT equipment etc.
You can apply individually, or for a combination of both funds.

Budget and spending

The budget should be written in detail with quotes attached. If the activities are to be subsidised the budget should reflect this as a projected income.

All the money you are given needs to be spent by the end of the financial year that it was granted in (a financial year runs from April 1 to March 31).
