Save A Smile Campaign!

On Monday 10th May, Bully Free Zone launched a new awareness and fund-raising campaign with the help of long-serving Manchester United defender Gary Neville.

The campaign aims to raise awareness of bullying and how young people who are victims of bullying often have nothing to smile about. The charity calls for people to share the things that make them smile via the Save a Smile website as well as look at ways they can raise much needed funding for the charity.

Live UnLtd Funding Scheme!

Last week a new exciting funding scheme was launched for young people....

Live UnLtd aims to show that young people are the solutions to the problems faced in their communities through empowering them to run their own community projects. We currently have funding available for young people between 16-18yr olds [11-18yr olds from Aug2010 onwards] to apply for awards of up to £2000 for projects that have a positive social impact on their community. In every application we look for achievability of the project; the motivation of the individual and how much social impact the idea will have on the community. Please note that anyone applying who is under 17yrs old will need an advisor to help them to run their project.
Each month, the Youth Leadership Team living across the north (aged 16-25), will decide which youth lead projects will be funded and how much money will be awarded per project. The basic criteria for an award is:
∙ Must be 16 – 18 years old [11-18yr olds from Aug2010 onwards]
∙ Must be living in England
∙ Must be applying as an individual or an informal group for a new project idea
∙ Must have a positive social impact on the community
Applications are accepted all year round and applicants will be notified with the final decision from the youth leadership team within 4 weeks.
The next deadline for applications is Wednesday 12th May and for your information the next one will be in June.
