The Youth Opportunity Fund and the Youth Capital Fund are designed to involve young people in decision making by giving them control over funding and more choice and influence over youth provision and facilities in their area. Bolton’s YOF and YCF funds were distributed through the Cash Panel made up of young people who considered applications and decided where to direct funds. Young people within the borough applied to the panel for money to fund various projects. Three projects that have benefited from the funding have seen young people with disabilities attend a music scheme, a project further promote its work engaging a broad section of young people and a school for young people with disabilities engage safely in water-based activities.
