Minibus at Cramlington Voluntary Youth Project Receives Wooden Spoon Grant

Northumberland

The opening of a Minibus at Cramlington Voluntary Youth Project Ltd, a Specialist Equipment & Facilities project, in Northumberland, has been awarded a grant of £28,000. This project, aimed at improving transport access for young people of all ages and abilities, is set to have a significant impact on the local community. Minibus at Cramlington Voluntary Youth Project supports the organisation’s long-standing work in creating opportunities that enhance the social and personal development of young people.

This new specialist facility, set to be opened soon, provides safe and reliable transport designed to help young people access a wider range of activities, services, and experiences outside of the youth centre setting.

This facility was generously funded by a Wooden Spoon Charity grant. Wooden Spoon supports Cramlington Voluntary Youth Project’s dedication to creating inclusive, developmental environments that foster wellbeing and growth.
