Youth Opportunity Fund

The Youth Opportunity Fund (YOF) is a pot of funding available to young people, aged 11 to 19 years old, or up to 25 with a disability, who live, go to school or attend a youth provision in Wandsworth.

Young people can apply for up to £4,000 to run a project or activity that will benefit their peers.

The fund is totally youth-led. Young people think of the project ideas, write the bids, present their idea to the YOF Panel and run the projects. They are helped by a supporting organisation.

The bids are also accessed by a group of young people, called the YOF Panel, who decide which projects receive funding.
