About the project

From 10th – 16th February 2020, we want you to help make children and young people in Hertfordshire feel good by running your own special projects to boost their emotional and mental wellbeing.

Youth organisations, schools, and young people are invited to submit a bid and apply for up to £500 of funding, which has been put forward by Hertfordshire County Council, and the county’s two Clinical Commissioning Groups (CCGs). The bids will be reviewed by a group of young people in December, and they will judge which projects should receive funding.

Update: The deadline for applications closed on 6th December 2019

‘We are all unique – it’s what makes us, us! It’s important to celebrate who we are, and to know that even if we have labels, they do not have to define us. Our panel would love to see ideas that allow children and young people to celebrate their individuality, and how this supports their emotional and mental wellbeing.’
