The Clive Beck Bursary

Youth Cymru are pleased to announce the launch of ‘The Clive Beck Bursary’.

Following a donation from Mr Clive Beck, who was associated as a member of the Welsh Association of Youth Clubs (the former name of Youth Cymru), we are pleased to be able to offer two Training Bursaries to youth workers.

Mr Beck had received support from the WAYC, which enabled him to achieve a professional qualification and career. He wish has been to return that investment for the benefit of others. The bursaries will be up to £500 each and will be made available to workers who come from projects or clubs that are affiliated to Youth Cymru.

The purpose of the bursary will be:
- To assist in furthering the professional youth work training and development of deserving individuals working with young people in Wales by either: Assisting a volunteer, youth worker, or a potential youth worker, help an individual follow a prescribed course of study in youth work, or a course of further education of benefit to him/her, and eventually, to the wider community.
- Assisting a senior youth club member meet the cost of pursuing a recognised expedition or similarly demanding pursuit with the object of experiencing a personal challenge, and leadership skills.

Professional details should also be included: name and address of club/project, outline of the applicant's current involvement with young people, details of the training the applicant wishes to persue, and the cost of that training per year.
