Youngsters across the West Midlands and Kent could benefit from an increased £300,000 of funding from the National Express Foundation.
Last year the charity extended £150,000 of funding support to the Medway, Gravesend and Longfield areas of Kent, as well as the West Midlands. This year the Foundation has doubled the amount of funding to support even more young people, with a total of £300,000 available.
Since its launch in 2012, the Foundation has awarded hundreds of thousands of pounds which has helped over 14,200 young people enjoy positive activities within their local communities and to continue with their education.
The charity has now opened for 2018 applications and is offering local educational institutions and community groups the opportunity to bid for grants out of the increased £300,000 funding available.
