THT - Young Leaders Grants

The Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is inviting groups of teenagers to apply for a grant to start projects that will teach your peers about safe sex, sexually-transmitted diseases, and how to deal with difficult relationships.

- The grants are for up to £1000
- Some of the suggestions that they have already had include: improv theatre on sex and relationships education, projects to address sexual or homophobic bullying, youth training youth on contraception, or podcasts.
- You will need to work in partnership with a youth work professional, from a school/organisation who agrees to support your project
- The organisation needs to agree to account for the funding your project receives.
- The project must benefit young people aged between 13 and 19 years old, with the exception of projects that support young people with a physical or learning disability.

The deadline is the 29th of February 2008.
