Voluntary council launches latest youth grant

Denbighshire Voluntary Service Council (DVSC) has launched its 2021-22 Youth Led Grant. 

A total of £4,960 is available to support a range of small volunteering projects and activities, led and carried out by young people which contribute towards the seven Well-being of Future Generations Act (2015) goals.

DVSC says: "For many young people the past year has been incredibly hard with changes to social and education life. 

"Here at DVSC we wish to continue with our support for projects that can help young people in our communities. Our aim is to continue to fund young people in the area who have bright ideas on how they wish to solve some of the key challenges facing young people.

"Our Youth led Grants have been enabled by funding from the Welsh Government. 

"The purpose of the grant is to enable youth led activity to contribute towards the seven Well-being of Future Generations Act (2015) goals.

"The Act is unique to Wales attracting interest from countries across the world as it offers a huge opportunity to make a long-lasting, positive change to current and future generations."

The deadline for this year's grant round is September 13, with a decision made on applications later that month.
