The Youth Investment Fund team wants to ensure every eligible youth service can apply for funding to renovate their service and recognises that some services only require a small investment to 
improve their offer to young people.
In response to need, the Youth Investment Fund team has developed a Refurbishment Grants application stream for organisations. The focus of the fund is refurbishments on individual sites.
You can apply to the YIF Refurbishment Grants Programme, if:
- Your planned building project will be in a selected eligible area
- Your organisation has an eligible legal structure as outlined in the main fund
- Projects seeking funding of £150,000 and under
- Projects that do not require planning permission
- The applicant organisation either owns the freehold or has a lease 5 years or more
- Have listed building consent already in place, if needed
The minimum grant request is £10,000 to ensure the change on site will do enough to sustain or expand youth activities. The grant request must not exceed £150,000. Please note that the ceiling of £150,000 is for capital, revenue and contingency costs.
The next two application rounds of the Refurbishment Grant Programme are:
- 24 April to 12 May 2023
- 29 May to 9 June 2023
