Youth Capital Fund

The YCF is a pot of money given to us by the Government to be used on things like doing up buildings, buying mobile resources, youth shelters, etc.

This fund is also managed by the group of young people that manage the Youth Opportunity Fund.

The YCF provides opportunities to create or enhance facilities such as buildings or outdoor spaces as identified by young people.
