www.keyfund.org.uk
Keyfund provides funds for young people to plan and carry out their own projects. This process enables them to develop skills that have not been gained through other sources. The young people present their idea to a panel who are not judging the value of the actual project, but the groups ability to recognise their learning in organising and plaining the project. This allows the young people the opportunity to maintain control of the project from planning to completion whilst accessing 'just in time' support from a trained Keyfund facilitator. There are various levels of progression from the first grant of £250 to level four grants of £2000  - We have keyfund facilitators in our partnership!
