Think Big with O2

http://www.o2thinkbig.co.uk/

Youth Cymru have now become a national partner with O2 on their 'Think Big' project, which has enabled us to access funding within Wales

The Update document outlines the new process and what Youth Cymru can do to help young people achieve the grant.

The Project Categories and Criteria document is basically a crib sheet to help young people fill in the Application Form. The Application Form can be downloaded here.

All this docmentation refers to an initial grant of £300 . However, some projects could go a lot further and be given even more support. Young people who show great potential with their first project can apply for further funding of up to £2500.

Existing Project Founders can apply for further funding if their £300 project:
- has been completed, and the founders and members actively used the ‘Think Big’ website
- has the potential to grow into something much bigger
- has made a big impact in the local community
- has addressed a real social issue in a meaningful way

However, if a young person has achieved their £300 project, and there is little else they can do to expand it, they can think up another project idea. They might form a new project team, depending on the project’s aims.

The completed application form should be returned to Helen Mary Jones.

The application will be assessed and either approved and forwarded to O2 for processing, or we will assist the applicant to ensure that it meets the criteria.

We do hope that our members will find this useful for the groups they work with, and we look forward to receiving your applications. In order to access this project you must affiliate to Youth Cymru.
