Creative Youth Grant Scheme Guidance

Galway and Roscommon Local Creative Youth Partnership (LCYP), administered by Galway and Roscommon Education and Training Board (GRETB) has grant funding available in 2021 under a Creative Youth Grant Scheme. The scheme supports the development of child and youth creativity in Galway and Roscommon. This includes, but is not limited to, the practice and planning for enhanced youth creativity at the local level.
The aim is that creative projects which emerge are guided by young people in the design, delivery and evaluation of project progress.
The grant scheme supports costs associated with the running of projects that are founded on the needs identified by young people themselves and the youth sector in general. The costs covered include salary costs (fees and wages), venue hire, transport, programme materials and associated running costs of projects. Galway and Roscommon LCYP, in supporting the development of creative opportunities for young people in Galway and Roscommon, is looking to support sustainable and targeted initiatives through the grant scheme.
