Keyfund BLAST

Featured Articles / Keyfund / Upcoming Events
blast

Keyfund Participate NE is running a Keyfund BLAST in the south of the region beginning the 20th February 2012

A BLAST is, in essence, Keyfund in two weeks and includes;

  • “Introduction to Keyfund” training for new facilitators (we are aiming for this to be at a reduced cost)
  • Community Panel Member Training
  • Drop-ins to develop your groups idea and application
  • Group going to Panel to present their project and seek approval to take forward
  • Initial group idea to money reward in two weeks (if required learning has been achieved)
  • A great way to understand the Keyfund process to do more of your own in the future.

Running this BLAST means that the young people you are working with could have a reward for their learning of up to £250, this will aid them to participate in an activity that might have been previously unavailable to them. You need to have a group of young people to go through the BLAST process which will start on the 20th February 2012 with “Introduction to Keyfund” Training at the BBC TYNE TEES, Middlesbrough. The groups idea also needs to engage with one of the four selected projects we run - The North East Youth Network, somewhereto_, NE-Generation or Truth About Youth. To engage with the TAY programme a press release must be issued about the Keyfund projects work, illustrating how it has challenged and changed negative perceptions.

If you are interested or want to know more about this great opportunity please contact our new development worker Michele Deans on mdeansy@yahoo.co.uk or contact Ria at the Unit on 0191 440 4410.
