Corra Foundation - Promise Partnership Youth-Led Grant Programme
Created: 08/08/2024
News/Events Category: Funding and Finance
This item will show under the following categories: Children and Families
This Youth-Led Grant Programme is designed to give children and young people with care experience the opportunity to say what matters to them and for them to decide what changes need to happen in their communities to make them feel loved, safe, and respected. The programme aligns with "The Promise Scotland's Plan 24-30," by focusing on voice, and enhancing the wellbeing and opportunities for children and young people with care experience.
The purpose of this programme is to facilitate and support children and young people with care experience in their community put their ideas into action and make change happen. The one-off grant will be split, a £50,000 “grant pot” to enable the ideas developed by children and young people with care experience to become a reality. The remaining £25,000 to support delivery costs such as payments for participation, applicant staffing and resources.
The “grant pot” allocated should support projects that matter most to the care community. This can be one idea, or several depending on what has been identified with children and young people. Final decisions on which projects/activities will be funded must be made by children and young people, guided by the appropriate links in the relevant ‘host’ organisation. These may include things like:
- Improving community/statutory spaces and facilities
- Enhancing services and resources for care-experienced young people
- Foster inclusion and participation in community activities
- Designing and delivering events to raise awareness and challenge stigma
As this is a youth-led approach successful applicants are expected to have ongoing open and trusting relationships with children and young people with care experience. Previous experience of supporting community led grant decision making would be beneficial.
