Focus on Young People in Bassetlaw

Focus on Young People in Bassetlaw grants

Small grants from a Worksop-based charity to help young people aged 8 to 25 in Bassetlaw realise their ideas, ambitions and aspirations, and to support groups working with them. Individuals can currently receive up to £175, and organisations £250 to £500 depending on how many young people are involved. The charity raises its money through its own fundraising events and prefers to fund the delivery end of a specific project rather than general running costs. Applications are decided at trustee meetings held throughout the year.
