Courses can be for adults or children. Funding must be used for refurbishments and equipment in kitchens in the community, including in schools and anywhere members of the community come together. We also encourage applications for equipment to be used for teaching cookery outdoors, e.g. at growing projects where the connections between seasonal, local food and cooking can be demonstrated.

No Messin' : funding for youth groups
Has your group got an idea? If you do, you can get money to make it happen..
It's not always easy to find somewhere safe to play or hang out. This is your youth group's chance to get something going.
It's simple. Your group identifies the problem (could be that they get bored and end up playing in dangerous places, or get pushed around by an older group) then you come up with a project that solves it!
This could include the chance to play a sport or other things to do locally. Then NO MESSIN'! could give your group the money, support and training to make it happen.
This is your group's chance to get up to £200 to turn your idea into reality, and to go on a three-day residential training course with other teams from Scotland, Wales and England. The training will help make your project a success as your group learns skills in teamwork, problem-solving and communication.
Interested? HERE'S WHAT TO DO...
1. Request your free NO MESSIN'! Planning Pack and Project Proposal Form from Sara Kirk at sara.k@ukyouth.org
2. Get your group together - anywhere between 4 and 8 of you, aged from 10-14.
3. Agree on a local problem or issue you can tackle.
4. Come up with a great idea! (It's important for your group to think about how you will involve other young people and adults in the community).
5. Return the Project Proposal Form before Friday 12th February 2010.
Remember: You can apply more than once if you have multiple good ideas.
For further information, please contact: Yvonne Richards, Tel 0845 8620428, Email yvonne@ukyouth.org
