Funding for youth projects
The Youth Opportunity, Youth Capital Fund and Chill out Fund were grants providing funding for youth projects, groups, activities and facilities in Oxfordshire.
Bids to the Youth Opportunity and Capital Fund were judged and granted by groups of local young people.
Following clarification from the new government, we regret that all applications for the Youth Opportunity and Youth Capital Funds, including those already submitted, remain frozen. We apologize for the inconvenience and share your disappointment.
The Youth Opportunity and Capital Funds
Youth Matters, the Government's plan for young people, includes providing a range of positive activities and places to go and things to do.
Young people asked for:
- a choice of safe, enjoyable places to relax and hang out
- a wide range of activities, including sport, arts and social events
- the chance to take part in interesting experiences
- opportunities for volunteering
These funds empowered young people as:
- decision makers
- grant givers
- project leaders, and
- participants
You can find out more about projects that were funded by the Youth Opportunity and Youth Capital Fund in 2007-8, 2008-9, and 2009-10.
