The Young Catalyst grant awards up to £500 to young people on low incomes to pay for things that you think will make a difference for you. It is a simple, special and effective fund designed to support you in a number of ways.

If you are an Islington resident and aged between 16-25, you are eligible.

Please complete the Google form below and give us as much detail about your project as possible. If you’re more comfortable speaking, we can arrange a time for you to tell us about your idea over the phone. If you’d prefer to send a video application, please send it to: contact@creativeopportunities.co.uk

After we have received your application, a small committee made up of other young people will help us decide which applications we will accept.

Please note, you can also apply for a smaller amount - your proposal might only need £250.

Applications are now closed for the first round of grants. We are currently reviewing applications. However, there will be another round of funding in the future so if you missed this deadline, you can still apply now to be considered for the next round.

Good luck!
