In the charity's own words
We seek to promote good citizenship among young people in the UK. We do this by making grants to young people or groups of young people aged 11-18 in schools, colleges and youth organisations. Grants are awarded to fund adult-supervised projects that are for the public benefit and have a community-enhancing purpose.
