Salix Homes offers young people a boost to success

Salix Homes has launched its Boost4Youth fund for 2023.

The scheme offers grants of up to £500 to help fund youth projects with an aim to help young people living in Salford.

The funding is part of the Salix Homes Springboard programme, which supports projects that help to boost community spirit in Salford, improve the environment, reduce isolation, and promote health and well-being.

Young people who live in a Salix Homes neighbourhood are invited to bid for funding, all applications will be considered and those who are successful will be offered help and advice for their project.

Sue Wilkinson, Customer Engagement Manager at Salix Homes, coordinates the Boost4Youth scheme said:

“It’s great that we are launching the Boost4Youth scheme again this year, we have some amazing and talented youngsters in Salford and it’s great that we are able to give them a boost with a project or community initiative. We’ve opened the scheme to include 11 to 24-year-olds to make sure as many young people can apply, there is a pot of £10,000 available so we would urge anyone who has an idea for education, employment or a community initiative to submit an application. If you’re an apprentice who’s after some new tools for the trade or a youth club in need of some new equipment, we’d love you to apply to the Boost4Youth fund”

Applicants don’t have to be a Salix Homes tenant, but the project must benefit young people living in a Salix Homes neighbourhood.

Applicants can apply for £500 of funding via the Salix Homes website, funding is limited and not all applicants will be successful, core running costs or personal items will not be funded.
