East Ayrshire organisations could be accepted into the Youth Scotland Rural Action Fund as it returns for a second year.

The fund is set to help grow and develop community-based youth work provision in rural areas in Scotland.

With a successful first year, and with aid from both The Robertson Trust and The Gannochy Trust, the available funding has been increased.

The micro grant scheme will see one-off awards of between £100-£750 offered for small, volunteer-led youth projects and clubs to enhance existing provision for young people or increase capacity to deliver a specific project or programme.

You must have a maximum of two full time members of staff.

To apply please visit https://www.youthscotland.org.uk/programmes/youth-scotland-rural-action-fund/

The deadline for the fund is August 30.
