Hackney Holiday Grants Programme 2008/09

The 2008/09 Holiday Grants Programme is provided by Hackney Council and
administered by London Councils. Organisations providing quality schemes
can apply for grants of up to £10,000 to provide activities for children
and young people aged 5-19 years of age or 5-25 for children and young
people with special educational needs.

Grants are available for programmes that contribute to long-term
benefits for the health and well-being of young people. Programmes must
have links to existing provision, such as youth clubs, play centres and
organisations providing artistic, creative, sporting or physical recreation.

Grants are available for activity during school holidays throughout 2008
and Spring 2009.

Applications must meet the following criteria:
* Provide holiday activities to children and young people in Hackney
* Be delivered by Hackney based organisations
* Involve volunteers, parents and carers
* Use public transport or provision from Hackney Community Transport
* Include a programme showing the range and quality of proposed activities

The fund is £150,000. The maximum grant available to organisations is
£10,000.

Deadline for submission of applications is 29 February 2008.
