How to Join the Panel

The Youth Funding Panel is always keen to hear from young people who are interested in joining and becoming young grant makers.  You will work pretty hard as a panel member, but you'll also have lots of fun.  It's a great opportunity to meet people from across the county and have the chance to make some really important decisions which will affect the opportunities available for you and your peers.   

However, because a set number of places are allocated  for young people living in each district council area, to maintain the balance of members from across the county, it is not always possible for you to be offered a place straight away.

If you are interested in becoming a member you can download and complete the application form and send it to:

Youth Funding Panel, Integrated Youth Services Team, Hestercombe House, Cheddon Fitzpaine, Taunton, TA2 8LG.
