Revenue - (Everything and anything else!)

 The Application Format

1. Everyone who applies MUST complete an application form (for those with difficulties with this, someone must give us a contact name and number at least, on the form).
   
2. We are willing to accept a DVD to support an application but this must come with the minimum of details as point 1.
   
3. Only in exceptional circumstances will we accept applications written by adults on behalf of young people. (Where required a GG will visit young people and write an application on their behalf if they are able to give that detail).
   
4. The application form is available in different languages and in different formats. Applicants can call Sarah on 01429 523900, with any special requests.

 Application Visits

 From time to time we may make a visit to applicants to see and talk to the young people about their application.

1. If you are asking for a large amount of money from the YOF we may ask to see your paperwork and records.
   
2. There is no need to worry about our visits. We will be very friendly and informal and it will be a chance for you to tell us why you deserve to receive a grant from the Youth Opportunity Fund.
