  1. Hello, are these funds still available? We are a group of six ladies that have joined together to keep our local library open. Our County Council had ear marked the library for closure in April 2017. We formed a committee of trustees and registered as a CIO (number 1168661) back in August 2016. So we were ready to take over on the 1st April this year with a great band of approximately 40 volunteers. We are fully self funding and would be grateful if you would let us know if we qualify for some funding, and what you would need from us to apply formally.

    Thank you for your time.

    Kind Regards

    Miss Kelsey Hodgson

    1. Thanks for getting in touch. I only provide information on the funder, you will need to contact the Foundation directly for information. Depending on how much you need the another option would be to look at the Awards for All from the lottert, up to £10k, but a relatively quick and easy process
      All the best

  2. YOUTH CENTRES CLOSING

    The LGA said that more than 600 youth centres closed and nearly 139,000 youth service places were lost in the UK between 2012 and 2016. Central government funding for children and young people’s services has fallen by £2.4bn since 2010, and LGA analysis shows that a further £3bn will be needed by 2025 just to maintain services at their current levels.

    10. Provide a space for community-led and managed activities; and be sustainable by generating income from our AYG Community services; and have a dedicated AYG training facility that will be income generating.

    AYG Community services (AYG) is a pioneer socially responsible recruitment service that helps people from disadvantaged backgrounds into work by supporting their development through education, training and volunteering. We also provide ongoing support for career progression to increase their earning potential and help them become a beacon in their community. New Project: AYG plans to acquire and successfully run an “AYGroup Community Services Centre” in the East India & Lansbury ward in Tower Hamlets.

    This idea has germinated out of the three areas in which we are helping disadvantaged people to break the cycle of poverty, improve their career aspirations and encourage them to participate in helping and changing their community for the better. As our business idea is currently in the development stage, we currently require funding for expenses as we move forward. This will put us in a great position to finally push forward with our idea and begin actively seeking larger premises. With this in mind, we wish to meet our goal of opening a community hub for the people of Tower Hamlets within the next two years. The need for this service is evidenced by the belief within the community, that despite neighbouring the world’s number one financial banking and business centre, their community has not benefited from the success and wealth of these institutions. Our main aim is to change this by opening a new centre where we can build on our Employ-ability work for the youth and also provide facilities for people of all ages. Our focus will be to enable young people to participate in the same arena as mature adults motivating them to succeed in life.

    This will be something in Tower Hamlets that the entire community will be proud of. AYG plans to offer a facility that provides social, educational, recreational and well-being activities in a safe and secure community environment.

    It will also promote community cohesion through dialogue and discussions at the centre where all groups from diverse backgrounds will be welcome. We aim to provide young people with a positive focus and ability to develop skills that will enable them to have equality in life alongside their London counterparts. So far, we have envisioned the following activities running: • Children: Parties, tuition, health and fitness activities, homework club • Elderly: Social groups, arts and crafts and health, and fitness activities • Local residents: Meeting space • Marquee Events: Wedding parties, Trade Fairs • AYG CIC’s Café: tea, coffee, healthy drinks, sandwiches and cake,• AYG CIC’s skills and abilities workshops: where we will help our attendees develop their skills and find an ideal role that best suits their ability as the community hub will be AYG’s biggest project to date, we will work alongside the existing members of our Youth Forum and actively seek advice/feedback from the local community in the form of surveys/questionnaires. This will help us to shape the activities and services that will be on offer alongside our employ-ability work.

    By conducting regular surveys in the area, we will ensure that people from the local community are fully aware of our intended plans and know how highly we value their input. Due to the pending closure of the community centre in EIL ward, we are full of confidence that people will take part as our business idea will provide an ideal long-term solution that will address the needs of the local community. We intend the planning project to last 12 months as this will give us substantial time to test the feasibility of the community hub and to ensure that we have a detailed business plan in place.

    I welcome any queries or questions you may have and thank you for your consideration.

    We greatly appreciate your support and hope to hear from you soon.
