Local Network Fund for Children and Young People – England Only

The Local Network Fund for Children and Young People supports small voluntary and community groups to improve outcomes and opportunities for children and young people aged 0-19. The object of the fund is to enable communities, with limited opportunities or access to services that many young people take for granted, to develop projects and activities for children and young people.

The materials here provide advice and support on project development, establishing and running community groups and developing safeguarding procedures. The fund offers grants between £250 and £7000.
