Funding Opportunity: A youth club in Roseworth

2nd September 2021

Who are Roseworth Big Local?

The Big Lottery Fund identified 150 areas that had historically ‘missed out’ on funding. Roseworth was allocated £1 million to spend in any way they chose, providing local residents organised themselves and involved the wider community.

Big Local is funded for a decade, allowing the community to take their time, make decisions and deliver change. Since 2016 local people have been making decisions and delivering change in the local community.

The Roseworth the Big Local forum is made up of people who live, work, study or volunteer in Roseworth Ward

Roseworth Big Local have funded a youth club for children and young people, living in the Roseworth Ward, aged between 6 and 14. Previously the youth club has been delivered at Kiora Hall and more recently at Redhill Family Hub on a Thursday evening.

As part of our 2021/2022 plan we would like to support the continuation of weekly youth club/youth project in Roseworth. Therefore, we are seeking quotes from suppliers to provide this service

Purpose of the Youth club / Youth Project:

• To provide a weekly, term time only, youth club or youth project for children & young living in the Roseworth Ward.
• To cater for ages between 6 -16, but we are open to suggestions for different groups for different age ranges.
• To provide a variety of activities in a safe and supportive environment, allow children and young people to take part in enriching and confidence building activities.
• Ideally a youth club/project will be provided on a Thursday evening (between 5:30pm and 7:30pm) at Redhill Family Hub to encourage continuity. Other dates, times and Roseworth venues can be considered.

The successful organisation would be expected to start their proposed project in November 2021 and will continue weekly until end May 2022. Our next big local plan review is in 2022 and we would expect a youth project, upon successful review, would have the potential to continue for a further 2 years.

What children and young people have asked for:

What Roseworth Big Local ask for:

• To build the skills, capacity and confidence of Roseworth residents of all ages
• To increase the participation of residents, particularly young people, in the decision-making processes of delivering the Roseworth Big Local Plan 2021 – 2022 and future plans. 
• To upskill local people; training volunteers and staff locally wherever possible.
• Work towards sustainability: work with Roseworth big local and local residents to develop a sustainable future youth club.
• You will provide references and must hold the relevant paperwork and policies to run and lead a youth club; including (but not limited to) safeguarding children, Liability Insurance and DBS checks for any staff and/or volunteers. References and copies of documents must be available two weeks before the project begins.

What is the budget?

We would expect proposals to be costed at no more than £3000.
