The Prince’s Trust makes cash awards of up to £2,000 for young people to design and set up projects on a voluntary basis that will benefit their local community.
Past awards have included funding for start up youth cafes, asylum seekers improving perceptions in the community through photographic exhibitions, community radio stations, organic gardens kept for and by young people with mental health problems and DVDs to raise awareness of crack dealing.
Eligible projects must:
- be run and managed by young people
- deal with a local community need, with clear benefit to that community
- benefit the young people running the project
- be new or developing initiatives
Formal groups or organisations, travel and fundraising activities are not eligible.
