Funding for work with young people

[Lucie Stephens]

Not sure how 'co-production friendly' this fund is, but they do say 'we love hearing about something completely new and different'.......

Young people have great ideas. Sometimes they just need a little help to turn those ideas into reality. RBS want to help.

We are looking for not-for-profit organisations that share our desire to help young people aged up to 30 years to explore their enterprise potential. Funding of up to £50,000 will be awarded to organisations who run programmes that will help young people gain the skills and confidence to start out in business.

If you are an organisation that can deliver initiatives that help young people on their enterprise journey, then we want to hear from you. We are looking to support programmes that will help young people learn about, or start-up in business, for example, delivering enterprise education, innovative networking events or developing entrepreneurial knowledge. Be as creative as you like, we love hearing about something that is completely new and different.

Applying for a grant is straightforward, and can be done through the Inspiring Enterprise website. The application window is open from noon today, Monday 20 January 2014, and will close at noon on Friday 31 January 2014, during which time organisations can submit their application. Full eligibility criteria is available on the website.

Across two funding rounds in 2014, we will be making a total of £500,000 of grants available to support organisations which will help young people to start up and succeed in business.
