Big Changes to Mini Mediabox
‘Mini Mediabox’ has announced BIG changes, giving further organisations from across the country access to funding for youth-led media projects. Changes include:
* Increasing the annual turnover threshold from £100,000 to £150,000
* Accepting applications from umbrella groups
* Opening up for to schools and colleges
* Making the application process easier and faster for first time applicants to access the funds.
Mediabox gives disadvantaged young people the chance to create media projects about issues that matter to them, from film and journalism to digital media and campaigns. ‘Mini Mediabox’, with grants ranging from £1,000 to £5,000, is the smallest grant on offer, designed to give organisations that have a limited track record of delivering media projects the chance to extend their experience.
Anna Walker from P.A.T.H, who recently received Mini Mediabox funding, says: "We've been put off from applying for grants before, due to the length of time it takes and the impact it has on our limited resources. We’ve also been hesitant to apply for larger grants, as we don’t have the capacity to deliver a large-scale project. Mini Mediabox, with it’s quick application process and low level grants has given us the chance to try something we’ve always wanted to do and to empower the young people we work with.”
