‘Awards for All Wales’ grant for Vale Youth Forum

 

A lottery award to the Vale Youth Forum will be used in helping young people to work better together.

 

Vale Youth Forum membersThe Forum, which is supported by the Vale Council and the Police, has received £5,000 from the lottery-funded ‘Awards for All Wales’ programme to purchase a mobile team challenge kit. This contains equipment on up to 100 games and activities which can be used with young people in various settings to encourage communication, team working, emotional literacy and problem solving skills.

 

Forum chair Sy Joshua said: “This kit will allow the Forum and the Vale Youth Service to work together to provide activities that promote exercise and team building in many different environments, for example, local parks and other community settings.”

 

Supported by the Big Lottery Fund and the Heritage Lottery Fund, 'Awards for All Wales' is one of the quickest ways to secure lottery money. The scheme has injected grants of between £500 and £5,000 into a range of heritage, charitable, environmental, health and educational projects since its launch in 1994.
