Voluntary and community groups and organisations are being urged to bid for funding to deliver activities that support the mental and physical wellbeing of young people across Penistone.

Due to the success of the last funding round another £40,000 is available from Penistone Area Council.

Bids between £5,000 and  £10,000 are invited from voluntary and community sector groups and organisations to set up innovative activities and approaches that can address the effects of the past couple of years.

It is expected that volunteers will be major contributors to the delivery of all proposals.

Applications from groups and organisations will need to demonstrate a good understanding of the needs of young people in Penistone East and West wards.

Organisations who have previously applied for funding from this grant may apply again, provided that proposals show that there is evidence of a clear need, and project outcomes will demonstrate progression from any previous activity.

The closing date is 5pm Monday 4 July.  For more details and application contact [email protected]
