YOUNG people have just over a month to apply for a £1,000 grant to be used for any recreational or cultural activity. Salisbury charity Childrens Chance, which gives children and young people new opportunities, has launched its annual Bobbie Chettleburgh Grant. The £1,000 grant is aimed at youngsters aged 16 to 18 who live or go to school in Salisbury. A spokesman for the charity said: “We are very keen that the money makes a difference. We would love it to go to a young person who would not normally even contemplate travelling for pleasure or studying abroad, a young person who would absolutely love the chance to have £1,000. It is not a gimmick or too good to be true – we have £1,000 to give away.” Details or the grant are available on the website, childrenschance.co.uk. To apply, all young people have to do is write a one page letter saying what the grant would be used for. The closing date is May 1 and a decision will be made on May 7.
