Newcastle Youth Fund Round 3 is now open!

We are excited to inform you that the Newcastle Youth Fund Round 3 is now open!

The Newcastle Youth Fund has been created by young people and organisations that support young people across Newcastle.

Young people will be involved in the design and delivery of the activities and will have a key role in decision making to award the funds. The new funds will give young people a direct say in the design of services in their localities and help shape the city’s future. 

Young people will also be involved in the decision making process through our Youth Panels.

The Youth Fund will support activities that engage and inspire young people, support their emotional health and physical wellbeing and build community resilience.  Activities should reduce risk taking behaviours – such as anti-social behaviour,  promote social and emotional well-being  – and be educational and inclusive.

The fund will be split equally across four localities in Newcastle and all submissions will be reviewed and awarded by young people through new Youth Panels. The voice of young people is embedded and vital to the success of the Newcastle Youth Fund.

VCSE organisations can apply for between £12,501 and £31,250 for projects in the localities with a duration of up to 15 months. 

Fund guidance and how to apply can be found via this link. 

We have also attached a template of the application form with this email for your ease, however, please do not try to submit a paper copy of the application; it is for information only.

If you have any questions or would like to know more please contact Jo Taylor at joanne.taylor@newcastle.gov.uk  or Shamsun Choudhury at shamsun.choudhury@newcastle.gov.uk .
