Dorset Youth Fund

Supporting young people and their ideas

This fund has been fully allocated

Dorset Council teamed up with Crowdfunder to support local youth projects that benefited the lives of young people in Dorset between 2016 and 2021. The fund was designed to give young people places to go and things to do, or helped them to improve their community through social action. This fund has now been fully allocated, but you can still crowdfund in Dorset by clicking the button below.
