The Chill Out Fund

2012 - 2013 Chill Out Fund

You can start applying for funding for projects running in the next year - from April 2012 until March 2013.

Oxfordshire County Council has set up a fund to support work with children and young people across the county, with the aim of ensuring that all children and young people can access positive activities in their leisure-time by 2020.

Chilling out really is good for you!

It’s well-known that how you spend your leisure-time in your youth can have an important influence and impact on your current and future quality of life. If you get involved in positive activities, you’ll get loads of benefits:

• your confidence will increase
• you will have a more positive attitude
• you’ll be motivated to do well
• you’ll develop your social, life and interpersonal skills.

All of this is vital as it sets you on a positive path in life and helps you avoid taking risks such as experimenting with drugs or alcohol or being involved in anti-social behaviour and crime.

For young people who are more vulnerable than most – such as those with physical or learning disabilities – getting out and having fun can reduce social isolation and is a great way of meeting new friends and finding new interests. If you’re a young carer, the opportunity to have some time to yourself each week gives you an important break, where you can do something just for yourself.
