Grants available for youth activities in Much Wenlock and Shipton, and Broseley and Barrow, areas

Shropshire Council, through the Much Wenlock and Shipton Local Joint Committee (LJC), has a small pot of funding to deliver one-off grants to local organisations or individuals interested in providing or enhancing existing youth activities for 10- to 19-year-olds (up to 24-year-olds, for individuals with learning difficulties) in Much Wenlock and the surrounding parishes.

The LJC would also welcome applications from Broseley and the surrounding parishes.

Grants are available to help towards providing opportunities for young people which could include costs of training courses for volunteers, youth session activities, and equipment, all to benefit young people in the local area.

Councillor David Turner, Chairman of the LJC, said:

“It is often small grants that can make a big difference, such as paying for a volunteer to attend a training course or buying some new equipment. Please get in touch if you think you are eligible.”

For more information and to obtain an application form, please contact Kerry Rogers, community enablement officer, on 07990 085206 or kerry.rogers@shropshire.gov.uk. 

The deadline for applications is 10 June 2016.
