to be within the ages of 13 and 19 to be able to apply for this
money.The money is to stop adults always making up the
rules for young people. There is £332,412 for this year and the
same again for next year. The money is for projects and some of the
money can be spent on goods and for maintenance of
buildings.
The grant makers are a group of young people, part of

will give out money to young people. They will decide how much to
give and whether they think young people will spend the money in
the best way to help themselves and their community.

The London Development Agency's Opportunities Fund has
been designed to encourage and support locally delivered projects
which make a real impact on London's economic development. It
supports a range of innovative projects designed to help regenerate
pockets of deprivation across London. Many of the projects break
down barriers to employment for disadvantaged groups and are led by
community and voluntary organisations which have both the ambition
and local knowledge to make both a significant and sustainable
impact. The application process for the fund is an annual event,
although the grants may be awarded over a period of up to three
years.

A special bidding round has been
launched as part of the London ESF Olympics Programme.
Unfortunately, despite the scheme’s name, these are not awards for
the greatest heights scaled in application jargon, or the longest
stretch of imagination in output planning, but grants to support
employment training to deal with the employment issues posed by the
London 2012 Olympic Games. |

For more information, to get the
application form or to discuss your project idea, call 0161 827

Closing date: Applications will be accepted throughout
2006. You need to allow four months for your application
to be processed. |
This scheme covers all local
community groups (not just rural ones) that are within range of a
Co-operative business outlet. Indeed, once checked for basic
eligibility all applications are passed on to your local
Co-operative Group area committee for
comment. There are 50 such committees within the UK.
Over £1 million a year is given through this scheme, and grants can
run to £5000.
You don’t have to be a charity, but if you are applying for more
than £500 you will need to show evidence of the formal nature of
your organisation and that you will be able to properly manage any
money you will be given. Local branches of national
charities can apply. Grants must be spent on one-off activities
rather than running costs. Support will not be given to projects
where there is a statutory responsibility for delivery of the
service. Preference is given to activities that are in line with
co-operative values, that show innovation or imagination, and which
target specific groups or areas of need
within disadvantaged communities. |

The contact address is:
Four Acre Trust
P.O. Box 48
Wotton-under-Edge
GL12 7WZ
Closing date: Applications are dealt with as received and the
Trustees need them
by the middle of the month preceding their meetings in April, June,
August,
October and December 2006. |
Since its formation 10 years
ago, the Four Acre Trust has consistently built its capital as well
as increased its grants expenditure. The founder, John Bothamley,
has now decided that he wants to cash in the capital and wind down
the Trust over the next eight years, and he has embarked on a
‘spend out’ policy that should see an extra £2.5 million a year or
so available for grants. The Trust will concentrate its new
spending
power on building long-term relationships with charitable
organisations that prevent problems rather than simply cure them.
It is likely that a third of grants will go to international
projects, and the Trustees wish in particular to benefit charities
working with young people. Grants will range from £3000 to £300,000
and can support core costs and occasional capital costs.
The new spending power is likely to see changes to what the Trust
funds in the coming months. At present the funding criteria
published on the Trust’s Web site identify:
• Respite Care and Holidays, covering subsidised holidays,
provision of refuges, and respite care for carers (young ones in
particular);
• Relief of Health and Disability, with: health centre, nursing
salaries and teaching costs covered for rehabilitation back into
society; mobility improvement projects leading to personal
independence; and low cost cataract operations;
• Vocational Guidance and Education, covering training for work,
work schemes for people with learning difficulties, and adventure
centres that build confidence. We suggest you check for the latest
position, and the Trust welcomes phone calls on 01453 844129 much
more than it welcomes time-wasting applications for something it
doesn’t support. |
| Report Calls for Major
Regeneration Funding Shake-up
(London) |
http://www.alg.gov.uk/doc.asp?doc=16686&cat=937 |
The Commission on London
Governance has published its final report 'A new settlement for
London' which calls for a major shake-up of the way the capital is
governed and the way that regeneration funding is administered. The
recommendations include the streamlining of current regeneration
funding, devolving the management of funds to a more local (borough
wide) level and the release of post 16 education and skills
development funding from the Learning and Skills Councils in order
to achieve a more integrated social and economic regeneration
framework. |

black and minority ethnic (BME) groups, preventative measures e.g.
research programmes, courses, workshops, seminars; young people 0 -

projects and advocacy.
