The Youth Local Action Group (YLAG) Fund is designed by young people for young people, supporting projects that work with and support people under the age of 30 in the Outer Hebrides.

In order to be eligible, projects must demonstrate that they:

• significantly benefit young people in their area;
• are achievable within the given timescale;
• have a legacy/ long-term impact;
• provide good value for money; and
• align with at least one of the following YLAG priorities: empowering young people; dùthchas & dualchas; entrepreneurship; mental health; personal & professional development.

Applications which demonstrate a particular benefit to young people who are care-experienced, disabled, affected by poverty or part of a marginalised group will be regarded preferentially, as will projects supporting Gaelic language and culture.
