THE Bradford East Area Committee is inviting applications from young people to receive support from the Bradford East Youth Opportunities Fund.

The money has been made available by the Area Committee to run from October 2014 to March 2015.

Grants of up to £2,000 are available for ideas inspired by young people that benefit those living in the Bradford East area aged from 13 up to 19 years old.

Councillor Imran Khan, chairman of the Bradford Area Committee, said: "Projects that give a voice and influence to young people, that increase their well-being and confidence, that promote positive engagement and entrepreneurial skills, and that raise the aspirations of young people will all be eligible for consideration."

The initial closing date for applications is Friday, October 31, at 4.30pm.
