They will close the application deadline earlier than stated if more organisations apply that they expect.

Suitable for: Incorporated voluntary or community organisations, public sector organisations.

Funding size: £30,000 to £100,000.

This funding is for organisations to give extra support to young people in areas with higher rates of anti-social behaviour. We’ll fund extra hours of youth work to give these young people more places to go and positive things to do.

This is the third phase of the Million Hours Fund. It is funded by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and The National Lottery Community Fund.

You can only apply for the Million Hours Fund if your work either:

• is in an eligible ward area
• will benefit young people living in one or more eligible ward areas
