Celebrate Black History Month in North East Lincolnshire and mark the 60th anniversary of the Windrush Arrivals
North East Lincolnshire Youth Bank
YouthBank is a UK-Wide Grant making initiative run by young people for young people. It is all about action and that’s action carried out by young people.
Through YouthBank, young people can explore opportunities not normally open to them e.g. handling decisions about money, having the power to make change and working alongside adults. It’s about young people putting their ideas into action and practicing their rights to make decisions to benefit their community.
North East Lincolnshire YouthBank is a group of young people from across the region who meets weekly to consider applications for funding from young people aged 13 – 19 years. They undertake training, residential and other activities which enhances their skills in grant making to enable them to support other young people in the grant making process.
YouthBank is unique in that it is young people themselves who make decisions about how NEL YouthBank is managed and run. It is supported by the North East Lincolnshire Young People’s Service.
