Applicants can apply for core costs, direct project costs, pilot projects or development needs of your organisation.

Some examples of what can be covered:

• Volunteer recruitment
• Volunteer training
• Pilot project for an activity you may hope to then generate your own income from
• Purchase of equipment to extend activities to increase participation
• Activity costs for young people in an area of disadvantage
• Infrastructure support / training to increase the capacity of the organisation
• Building improvement projects to make venues more accessible for users
• Publicity materials
• Organisational running costs (overheads)

Priority will be given to organisations that support those that are most disadvantaged. This could be because you are based in an area of disadvantage or because you work with a community disadvantaged for some other reason. You can find the list of areas the fund will cover on the website.
