The Local Network Fund has been running in Cambridgeshire and Peterborough since April 2003. In that time we have allocated more than £1.85 million in grants to community and voluntary groups working with children and young people.

Children’s and Young People’s Voices
The Fund particularly encourages projects under all the five outcomes that allow children and young people to express their opinions and contribute to improving services and policies on issues that concern them.

 

Being healthy: projects or activities that promote a healthy lifestyle so that children and young people are able to enjoy good health (e.g. sports sessions, healthy eating classes, peer support programmes on drug misuse).

Staying safe: projects or activities that contribute to children and young people being protected from harm and neglect and growing up able to look after themselves (e.g. anti-bullying projects, safe cycling groups, after-school clubs, self-defence groups).

Enjoying and achieving: projects or activities that help children and young people maximise their potential and develop skills for adulthood (e.g. theatre arts groups, self-advocacy skills programmes, cultural dance and music projects, CV development classes).

Making a positive contribution: projects or activities which enable children and young people use their skills and abilities in ways to enhance their own lives and the lives of their community (e.g. conservation schemes, recycling programmes, mentoring projects).

Achieving economic well-being: projects or activities which help children and young people overcome income barriers and achieve their full potential in life (e.g. preparation for work and training, financial literacy classes for young people, homework clubs).
