Media Trust announces new youth media grant strand
27 April 2009
Youth charity Media Trust has announced that it will
make grants of between £1,500 and £5,000 available to the UK's
youth media projects.
The organisation's Mediabox fund, supported by the Department
for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF), will open its Mini
Mediabox strand on 1 May, an ongoing project without an application
deadline.
Open to individuals aged between 13 and 19, the grants are aimed
at providing grassroots and community youth organisations with
funding for creative media projects.
The charity's Mid and Big Mediabox strands are also open until 7
and 27 May respectively and are geared towards supporting more
established youth initiatives in the UK.
Children and young people's minister Beverley Hughes announced
on 16 March that the DCSF would inject a further £8.25 million into
Mediabox with a view to giving "thousands more disadvantaged young
people the opportunity to produce creative media projects".
