Local organisations can now apply for grants to deliver summer holiday activities for young people living in Tower Hamlets. The council’s Integrated Youth and Community Services is inviting organisations that provide activities for young people aged between 13 and 19 (and up to age 25 for young people with special educational needs) to apply for summer project funding. These activities will run through the school holidays, from July 24-August 31, 2014 and organisations can apply for up to £2,000 for a full five week programme. Grants for young people’s summer activities In 2013, 40 plus projects were funded to provide a range of activities which included: • photography/media workshop • fashion shows • health and fitness activities • plays/musical production workshops • mural art projects • drama, dance • poster and textile design • intergenerational programmes • indoor sports • field and water sports • gardening projects • educational visits The Summer Grants assessment panel will assess all applications and are particularly keen to support projects that offer unique and innovative programmes. An advice surgery to support applicants will be held at Mulberry Place in the first week of April 2014. Applicants are required to book in advance as spaces are limited.
