Caithness Youth Bank - Applications

[rfr10]

I have once again changed the Caithness Youth Bank application forms. The new form will hopefully be clearer and easier to complete.

For an application pack email robin.falconer1@btinternet.com or koreen.macdougall@highland.gov.uk

If you receive your application pack from me, you will also be issued with a return information form.

Closing dates for applications is 30th June & 30th November each year but the sooner the application form is returned before each of these dates, the better.

The youth bank will provide grants of up to £1200 for projects which will benefit young people and the wider community. Conditions for receiving a grant and our Youth Bank criteria is included in the application pack.

We have received a very reasonable number of applications to assess at every meeting so far and 7 people responded to my last post on Caithness.org along with the remainder elsewhere.

Caithness Youth Bank must be ackknowledged, whether in newspaper, posters in the funded facility, etc. If this is not followed, the Youth Bank reserve the rights to take the money back.

Successful applicants will either be notified by phonecall immediately after the assessment meeting or by email / post depending on the availability of the applicant. You may also be asked to attend a Youth Bank presentation of cheques reception. The last presentation was held in the Pentland Hotel in Thurso. The next will be held around summer time in Wick.

Good luck to anyone who applies to the Youth Bank.

I really do want to encourage groups to apply to Caithness Youth Bank.


You may have applied before, been sucessful and want to apply again for something different.


You may have applied before, been unsucessful and want to try again once you've resolved any issues which could have let your application down the last time.


You may just be a new applicant who would like to see your group benefit from the grant.

In any of these cases, we want to hear from you, email robin.falconer1@btinternet.com or koreen.macdougall@highland.gov.uk for an application form.
