Who and what is funded?
The programme funds partnerships of heritage and youth organisations, but bids can involve private individuals and commercial bodies. However, the lead applicant must be a not-for-profit body, such as a local authority, parish council, social enterprise, voluntary group or community interest company.
Young Roots is designed to provide young people aged 11 to 25 with an opportunity to play an active role in planning and delivering a heritage project, so bidders should demonstrate young people have been involved in the initiative from the start.
Heritage organisations sometimes lack the resources to engage with young people, while youth workers are often not aware of the wealth of opportunities offered by heritage for youth work. Under the programme, youth groups must work with at least one heritage partner, and heritage organisations must work with at least one youth partner.
