We will be asking you to deliver a youth project or activity that makes a positive impact or difference to young people aged 11 to 19, or up to the age of 25 if they have special educational needs or disability (SEND), or if they are a care leaver.

The grant may be used for both ongoing costs and for the purchase of equipment or other items (it may be used for both revenue and capital expenditure).

We will expect your project to contribute to at least one of the following outcomes:

  • providing a wide range of positive activities for young people, including support for vulnerable young people whose needs might otherwise escalate
  • improving the wellbeing of young people in the Dorset Council area in the following areas:
    • to have healthy and active lives
    • to be safe from harm and have the help they need
    • to be prepared for adult life
