Fun and Friendship from BBC Children in Need
BBC Children in Need are launching a new, £3 million grants programme ‘Fun and Friendship’ to address the lack of opportunity for independent socialising for disabled young people growing up in the UK.
Fun and Friendship will award up to 12, three-year grants of up to £300,000 each.
BBC Children in Need are targeting organisations that can provide these opportunities for friendship, and identify and address the barriers disabled young people face as teenagers growing up in the UK.
Organisations can apply for a grant online at: www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/grants/funandfriendship
The deadline for applications is 31st July 2009.
For more information on Fun and Friendship, please contact Sheila-Jane Malley, Director of Grants and Policy, at sheila-jane.malley@bbc.co.uk or on 020 8008 3154.
