£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.

Raising the bar: Positive Futures' guide to accreditation - June 2005 This guide offers a step by step guide to practitioners who are considering accreditation as part of their work with young people in non-formal educational settings. The approach is not just accreditation for accreditation sake but of ensuring that everything from 'planning' through to 'completion' is an opportunity for practitioners to engage with young people as well as enhancing young peoples' personal and social development. The guide clarifies what can be a confusing context and array of awards and directs you to sources of further information and assistance. Date: Mon Jun 27 10:57:41 BST 2005

Positive Futures: govt website Positive Futures is a national social inclusion programme using sport and leisure activities to engage with disadvantaged and socially marginalised young people.

Founded in 1963, the National Children's Bureau (NCB) is a charitable organisation that acts as an umbrella body for organisations working with children and young people in England & Northern Ireland. Through working in partnership, sharing knowledge, resources and services we have created a powerful, authoritative and influential voice to improve the lives of children and young people.
