The Bermuda Silver Jubilee Trust is welcoming applications for funding under its ongoing grants scheme.

The trust supports local organisations that enable young people under the age of 25 to work together to help others or get involved with projects that contribute to the community.

According to a statement from Government House, applicants are encouraged to be imaginative in coming up with ideas how young people can make a useful, voluntary contribution to the community.

A total of $15,000 are expected to be shared between several recipients.

The deadline for the next round of grants is January 29; application forms can be obtained from the secretary to the Trust at tmdavis@gov.bm.

All applications will be reviewed by the Trust in early February and applicants will be notified shortly afterwards.
