A small grant fund to enable Youth Scotland member youth groups to deliver better youth work to young people who are at risk or who have experienced ACE’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences). The deadline for applications is 22nd April.
The Youth Scotland Safe Spaces Youth Work Fund is a small grant fund supported by The RS Macdonald Charitable Trust. This fund was created in response to the specific challenges which youth groups face around the prevention of—and alleviation of—risk of harm to children and young people. It will make small awards to enable youth groups to deliver better youth work to young people who are at risk or who have experienced ACE’s (Adverse Childhood Experiences).
Funds can be used for general youth work activity which creates safe spaces for young people who are at risk, as well as providing the opportunity to run issue-based programmes for young people affected by abuse and other Adverse Childhood Experiences, according to need.
