NCB NI is running the ENGAGE programme, a development and support contract providing support and advice for projects funded through the Reaching Out: Empowering Young People programme, on behalf of the Big Lottery Fund.
ENGAGE is also supported by a young person’s reference group so we can make sure that young people are central to the delivery of the support programme.
ENGAGE is for you and the young people you are working with.
ENGAGE aims to:
- Improve participation of young people in the delivery of projects
- Support projects according to individual needs
- Develop a central web presence for grantees where they can share ideas
- Provide marketing and advocacy support
- Build networks amongst grantees to capitalise on learning
- Raise the public profile of project impacts
How does ENGAGE work?
ENGAGE is available for all projects that have been awarded grants from the Big Lottery Fund’s Reaching Out: Empowering Young People programme.
