The Paul Hamlyn Foundation has teamed up with YouthBank to give young people from the Hillingdon Refugee Support Group the chance to run a grantmaking project in their area.
Rob Bell, social justice programme manager at the Paul Hamlyn Foundation, said: "We wanted to give them some power and the resources so they could see what it is like to be grant makers. We have met with them and they now have an understanding of the process.
