Girls on the Move Participation Programme
deadline: 1 September & 1 December 2009, 1 March 2010
Girls on the Move is a project designed to increase physical activity levels among girls and young women in Scotland. Through the Participation Programme, grants of up to £2,000 are available for projects and initiatives that target girls and young women aged 12-18 years.
Projects should aim to support participants to increase physical activity and skill levels, as well as self-esteem and confidence. Long-term impact is key, and Girls on the Move is keen to fund projects that consider how activities can continue once funding has finished. Previous projects have included cheerleading, netball, dance, gymnastics, outdoor activities and many more.
Girls on the Move is funded by the Robertson Trust and the Scottish Government and delivered by Youth Scotland. Further information and an application pack can be found at www.youthscotland.org.uk/projects/girls-on-the-move/the-participation-programme.htm or by e-mailing: girls@youthscotland.org.uk
