Youth opportunity fund

Introduction to the Funds

Youth Opportunities Fund (YOF) / Youth Capital Fund (YCF)

Introduction

The Youth Opportunity (YOF) and Youth Capital (YCF) Funds are two pots of money given by Central Government, to Bristol City Council, to give to young people in Bristol. The funds are managed and given out by a young peoples’ panel, to provide opportunities and resources for young people in Bristol to ‘Go places, Do things' and 'Get involved’. Young people have called this funding ‘YO’.

Aims of the Youth Opportunities and Youth Capital Funds

Young people can apply for money from either or both funds, on the same application. The Youth Opportunity Fund could be used for activities, trips or training. The Youth Capital Fund is for different things such as items you could hold, or use or for building work.
