Youth Opportunities Fund
The Government has given Kingston a fund of £162,200 this year for you to spend on ‘places to go’ and ‘things to do’. Youth clubs or groups can apply for a grant from this fund to set up activities and projects to do, or to refurbish premises or buy equipment for places to go.
All applications must be submitted by young people, and there is a panel of young people who decide on how the money should be spent.
