£1 Million Available to Support Youth Projects (UK) Young people are being given the chance to claim a share of £1 million to help tackle the dangers of drugs, crime and play a positive role in their community. The Royal Bank of Scotland Community Cash Awards will see £1 million of grants being distributed by youth charity "The Prince's Trust" to young people who want to run community projects in some of Britain's poorest areas. The Awards, worth £250 to £5,000, are available to disadvantaged 14 to 25-year-olds who want to transform their area and learn practical skills. Projects could range from improving local youth facilities to tackling teenage pregnancy or drug misuse. Projects must: · be run and managed by people between the ages of 14 and 25 · clearly benefit the local community · benefit the people running the project · be a new or developing project. Previous projects supported include; an amateur boxing project to give young people greater confidence; and a media project to promote community cohesion and greater understanding between the local community and asylum seekers. Applications can be made at any time.

The Mayor of London today announced that he will provide £20 million to boroughs to match funding they receive from government through the Youth Opportunity Fund (YOF) and Positive Activities for Young People (PAYP).

Arts interventions In terms of prevention, arts programmes range from projects in Learning Support Units and Pupil Referral Units, which address the problems of non-attendance and exclusion through the arts, to participation in, for example, Youth Inclusion Programmes or Positive Activities for Young People (PAYP), aimed at reducing anti-social behaviour
