Youth Opportunity and Capital Fund - 'The Big Spend'

Get in your bids ASAP

The Government have provided a fund for young people (aged 13-19 years) to spend on positive activities.

The great news is that young people in Hertfordshire have a say in choosing how the money is spent!

In fact, young people are the only ones who are allowed to choose and make the bids so it’s all down to you to decide what you would like and need!

In Herts we have a combined budget of just over £1million to spend per year.

To find out more information about The Big Spend, to apply on-line or download application forms and also to find out how you can be involved in decision making please click on the Channel Mogo link on the right hand side of this page.

Want to get involved in decision making?

All the decisions on applications are made by young people. In Hertfordshire we currently have 2 groups of decision makers but we are looking for more young people to get involved.

We offer:
- Fully accredited training
- A chance to help other young people
- Food and drink at meetings
- Travel expenses paid for
- Opportunities to meet other young people
- Easy and convenient places to meet
