Young Bristol
At a glance
Key takeaways
- Young Bristol's stated priority is the Greater Bristol area, and its work centres on informal education, youth clubs and outdoor activities for young people aged 8–25, so a project that fits that age range and purpose is worth exploring.
- Its annual report gives annual giving of £114,050, but no grant range is stated, so ask the contact shown about likely amounts before setting a figure rather than assuming one.
- No application process is published, so the sensible first step is to get in touch through the contact shown and ask how to proceed and whether a request is open.
- Its published information says nothing about how competitive the funder is or whether it works mainly through relationships, so check with it before investing heavily in a written application.
- No exclusions or eligibility limits are published, so nothing rules out any group.
