Part of National YouthBank Awareness Week

We were holding live grantmaking at Platform at the Bridge during the PureDanceNRG event on the 12th of November 2010, which is attended by youth clubs throughout the East End. It was a great night and we hope to do it again in the future. We learned how to process applications and interview candidates on the spot with minimal preperation which can help us in later life for job interviews etc. Also, we got to wear our new hoodies.

How many grants?

We funded 8 applications which were from:

• Clifton football club – for winter training kit, nets and balls, they got £350
• Glasgow Life – For a girls day out to M&D’s, they got £200
• F.A.R.E. – for a leanding library, they got £500
• RYPI – for a christmas night out to ice skating – they got £300
