Youth Opportunity & Capital Funds
Round 2 now CLOSED
There will be no further rounds for the foreseeable future
On 10 June 2010, the Government announced that a number of grants to local authorities would no longer be 'protected' - this includes the Youth Opportunity and Capital Fund. As a result, Suffolk County Council has halted any expenditure from the Fund with immediate effect.
This means that we are not able to implement decisions made on applications, except where formal written commitments to funding have been given. This is very disappointing for everyone – particularly after all the hard work, time and effort involved.
We will provide an update on the situation as soon as possible.
What’s the idea behind this scheme?
The Government decided to make money available so that young people can do more in their local community.
Suffolk County Council is responsible for administering the money, which is available through both the Youth Opportunity Fund and the Youth Capital Fund.

How have funds helped young people in my area?
From Newmarket to Felixstowe and from Halesworth to Haverhill, we've funded projects all over Suffolk!
What's it all about?
The Youth Opportunity Fund (YOF) and Youth Capital Funds (YCF) are special funds for young people, run by young people.
The funds are available to support projects and activities for young people in Suffolk, which have been developed by young people from their own ideas!
YOF support projects and activities – ‘things to do and places to go’.
YCF can be used to buy things like equipment and pay for building changes.
