Comic Relief funding for young people and alcohol projects

Does your organisation work with young people experiencing problems with their own alcohol use?

If YES then Comic Relief wants to hear from you.

They want to fund work that either:

• provides services for  young people with  alcohol problems;
• reaches more ‘at risk’ groups such as women,  young offenders and those with mental health problems;
• provides training to equip staff with specialist alcohol skills.

They particularly want to receive joint applications from young people’s and alcohol agencies and you will need to show the added value of working together.

Comic Relief offers large grants to voluntary organisations of any size across the whole of the UK.  Applications for grants of between £15,000 and £40,000 per year and usually for between one and three years can be considered.

CLOSING DATES FOR APPLICATIONS ARE:
28th February 2008
15th August 2008
