Young Roots Programme.

Young Roots is a grant programme that engages a wide range of young people 13-20 year-olds (up to 25 for those with special needs) with their heritage. Applications are invited from projects that will help young people develop skills, build confidence and connect with their local community.

Projects need to be related to the local and culturally varied heritage of the UK. For example, it could involve young people researching a local archive or doing practical casework on a nature reserve.

Grants of between £3,000 and £25,000 are available. Projects must also show how young people are managing and participating in the project. 

Applications can be made at any time. For more information, visit this website.
