THE application deadline for a youth-led projects grant has been extended, with just days left to apply.
The Torfaen Voluntary Alliance (or, TVA Wales for short), is offering a Youth Led Grant for young people between the ages of 14 - 25 years, "to enable projects to run that provide volunteering opportunities".
The new deadline for applications is 12pm midday, on Wednesday, July 3, 2024, according to TVA Wales. (Image: Canva)
The Youth Led Grants will be expected to fund projects which contribute towards the Seven Well-being of Future Generations Act (2015) goals, though not all projects will have to deliver against all seven goals:
-
A Prosperous Wales
-
A Resilient Wales
-
A More Equal Wales
-
A Healthier Wales
-
A Wales of Cohesive Communities
-
A Wales of Vibrant Culture and Thriving Welsh Language
-
A Globally Responsible Wales
Who can apply?
Applications must be written by a young person, submitted with a short video of a maximum of 2 minutes.
The TVA Wales has said: "Examples of future projects could be around mental health, young carers, the elderly, health & wellbeing, art, life skills etc."
Past projects include setting up fundraising events to support local charities, local environmental schemes, and improving facilities for older people.
