Thank you for posting your idea here on Junction49. This is a great opportunity to be providing for teenagers during the summer months when they've got a long holiday and not always sure of what to do to fill the time.

In terms of getting funding for your idea, here are a few potential opportunities:
• Camden http://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/content/community-and-living/youth-opportunity-fund-and-youth-capital-fund.en
If you're 19 or under you can apply to this fund, but even if you're older it's a great website and has links to local community centres who you could contact to find a venue for your session. Maybe the council will even help fund it/community centres themselves might have pots of money for running such activities so it's worth getting in touch.
• YouthBank http://www.youthbank.org.uk/
Only provide to local young people. If you go to the website and find out whether there is a YouthBank near you, you can then get in contact to find out about how you can apply for a grant. (you can be up to 25years old for this one)
• Vcashpoint http://www.vinspired.com/opportunities/vcashpoint/
Young people between 16-25 years old can apply for up to £2500 to set up a project which will make a difference in their communities.
Let us know how we can help and if you need any help/advice with filling out funding applications please get in touch :-)

Just thought I would let you know about this funding opportunity which I think you have a really strong chance of getting and would really urge you to apply. The deadline is 30th June so very soon, but it's worth a chance and you can apply for between £500 and £5000.
