The Camanachd Association today announced that Mowi, our longstanding partner, has agreed to renew the Youth Development Fund. The agreement will support shinty clubs in their development and is focused on enhancing opportunities for children and young people
The Youth Development Fund aims to increase opportunities and participation at accredited or accrediting member Clubs by providing a maximum grant award of £500. The funding will be eligible for accredited member clubs who are proposing new or enhanced initiatives to develop shinty for children and young people (up to age 18).
This investment comes during the 36th year of Mowi sponsoring shinty, an immense commitment from our longest standing partner.
Examples of the types of projects for which funding is available can include:
Recruitment, training and development of additional volunteers, youth coaches and/or referees to increase the club’s capacity for participation and promotion through the club Accreditation scheme.
Establishing new opportunities to take part in shinty
Enhanced activity targeted at increasing participation through holiday periods e.g. Running a summer camp
