The programme will therefore prioritise projects that:

• Provide training, education and employment opportunities to improve the quality of life by increasing income levels and opportunities for families
• Education and training projects, including vocational skills training, that provide or lead to formal accreditation and good employment opportunities.

2. Children and Young people: Projects that provide services to children and young people: The programme aims to

assist projects that provide resources and services at a local level, which encourage self help and offer sustainability of local initiatives.

Examples of projects that the programme would seek to fund include:

• Youth work, particularly projects, which contribute to reduction in crime and anti-social behaviour.
• Cultural activities ( including leisure and sport) particularly projects that encourage local communities to use facilities located within the Trust's area.

3. Older People: Examples might include:

• Projects that present opportunities for contributing to improved quality of life.
• Projects that promote and encourage health and fitness, particularly within community settings such as local clubs and community centres.

4. Disability: Examples might include:

• Projects that benefit and include work with: people with learning difficulties or special needs and disabled people.
• Projects that address needs/issues in relation to mental health.
