Proposals should take into account the impact of the Covid-19 in how the project will be delivered and how the pandemic has affected young people’s prospects.
The fund welcomes applications which seek to pilot innovative, creative and technological solutions, particularly where these could be upscaled or replicated.
The fund welcomes applications which involve cross community collaboration and partnership as a means of meeting the challenges common to all young people.
