Pembrokeshire Youth Bank is run by a panel of young people who meet monthly to assess applications from youth-led projects, decide how funding of up to £1,000 is awarded, and evaluate proposals against the principles of the Future Generations Act to ensure they benefit the wider community.
Being part of the Youth Bank gives young people a real voice in decision-making, the opportunity to visit and review supported projects, and the chance to develop valuable skills while helping to create positive change for other young people.
Meet once a month on a Wednesday 4:30pm-7:00pm (Can provide calendar of dates).
