The aim of the funds is to give a voice and influence to young people (13-19 years), particularly those facing disadvantage in relation to things to do and places to go.
The funds must involve young people in identifying and deciding on a range of positive activities for themselves and their peers, providing opportunities to lead projects, develop confidence, knowledge and skills in line with the Every Child Matters outcomes of:
- staying safe,
- being healthy,
- enjoying and achieving,
- economic wellbeing and
- making a positive contribution.
