WYPOF is a pot of money given to us by the Government to pay for young people’s activities in the local area. This money is there for young people to bid for things they’d like to do but haven’t had the chance to. This may be activities like residentials, youth councils, dance projects, environmental projects, arts/drama, sports, developing projects that benefit other young people, etc.

The fund is managed by a group of young people from the local area, the WYPOF funding panel, who meet to consider and discuss applications and decide on how the fund will be given out.

There is also money available from the Young People’s Capital Fund, a pot of money to be used on things like doing up buildings, buying mobile resources, youth shelters and ICT equipment etc. This fund is also managed by a group of young people.
