| An SELB spokesperson said: “This is the third year that the Department of Education has made additional funding available to the Youth Service for this summer programme aimed at young people in interface areas and those areas most affected by the Troubles. Last summer 5,500 young people took part in a total of 84 schemes across the SELB area.
“The Youth Service was delighted with the uptake of the funding last year and although the funding has been reduced this year the focus will be to support the most needy groups in the interface areas.
“Proposed schemes must cater for young people within the 4 to 25 age range and should lead to their personal and social development. The
main focus of the programmes should be timetabled in July and August.
“Organisations should forward completed applications by 17 June 2005 .
