Making a Difference: YouthBank Evaluation Report
In November 2009 we commissioned the Centre for Youthwork Studies at the University of Strathclyde to evaluate the impact YouthBank has had on the lives of young people and their communities.
Findings
The evaluation found that its not just Young Grant Makers and young people receiving grants that benefit from our work, like ripples in a pool the work of GE YouthBank reaches far and wide.

YouthBank network
TheseYouthBanks is part of a national network of 70 YouthBanks that meet up on a regular basis to network, participate in training and share ideas on how to make their YouthBanks better. Our YouthBank is more than just away of giving out grants, its about supporting young people to develop their skills, become more confident and become more involved in their local community.

Grant giving by young people – to young people.
YouthBank is all about young people doing things for themselves. We provide grant up to £500 to fund your good ideas that benefit the community. It is the young people who make all the decisions about how YouthBank is managed and run. It is young people who set the criteria for grants and young people who decide which projects to fund – these young people are known as Young Grant Makers.
