Heritage Lottery Fund - Young Roots |
|
Young Roots from the Heritage Lottery Fund offers grants of between £5,000 and £25,000. The scheme aims to involve 13-20 year-olds (up to 25 for those with special needs) in finding out about their heritage, developing skills, building confidence and promoting community involvement. Applications need to be from partnerships involving at least one heritage organisation.
Young Roots projects stem directly from young peoples' interests and ideas, harnessing their creativity and energy and helping them work with others in their local community.
To receive a Young Roots grant, your project must relate to the varied heritage of the UK and:
- provide new opportunities for a wider range of young people aged 13 to 25 to learn about their own and others’ heritage;
- allow young people to lead and take part in creative and engaging activities;
- develop partnerships between youth organisations and heritage organisations; and
- create opportunities to celebrate young people’s achievements in the project and share their learning with the wider community.
Your project must also create either:
- opportunities for young people to volunteer in heritage; or
- new opportunities for young people to gain skills in identifying, recording, interpreting or caring
Young Roots is a rolling programme and there are no deadlines for applications. You will receive a decision on your application within 10 weeks from receiving your fully filled-in application.
