YOUNG PEOPLE
What could you do with £500?
Our next round of the grant scheme opens this winter and any young person you know aged 15-25 is welcome to apply online.
Whether it’s buying a railcard or a laptop, paying for a course or furthering your education or career, it all adds up. That’s why for the last six years Telford & Wrekin Council has run a Young Person Grant Scheme. Worth up to £500, the grant supports young people aged 15 to 25 who need help getting into education, employment or training. Look out for the next round of applications launching this winter. Eligible young people can apply online and join nearly 300 others who have already benefited.
Telford & Wrekin’s Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Families, Councillor Shirley Reynolds said: “This past year has been the best yet. When we read each young person’s story, it is really difficult to choose who to give the money to, as the breadth of applications is absolutely incredible. “We want to make sure the council supports young people as much as we can. From the Young Person Grant Scheme, to 10 by 10, to free swimming for under 25s – we’ll do all that we can to be on your side.”
“We want to make sure the council supports young people as much as we can. We want you to know we are on your side.”
