Funding opportunities for voluntary organisations and community groups

Did you know that Suffolk Youth and Connexions Service have granted nearly £170,000 in small grants to voluntary organisations and community groups since 2008?


Exceptional round now open

The Suffolk Youth and Connexions Service is pleased to announce that applications are now being accepted for an exceptional round, with a closing date of 15 January 2010.

If your organisation has already received the maximum of £5,000 over the past year, you will not be eligible to apply for the exceptional round.

Please make sure you allow enough time for your application to be endorsed by both the Connexions Locality Manager and the Youth Service's Area Youth Officer. For contact details, see the Locality Contacts List below.

Voluntary organisations and community groups can apply for grant aid to develop the capacity of young people to participate.
