Voluntary Youth Work Organisations Support Scheme (VYWOSS 2025-26) – ROUND 2

Voluntary Youth Work Organisations Support Scheme (VYWOSS 2025-26) – ROUND 2

CWVYS has been commissioned by the Welsh Government’s Youth Engagement Branch to administer another round of the Voluntary Youth Work Organisations Support Scheme (VYWOSS 2025-26) (ROUND 2)

Before you read any further, please note that this fund is only available to voluntary sector organisations, not-for-profit, delivering youth work services in Wales in no more than one local authority area, and not in receipt of Strategic Voluntary Youth Work Organisation (SVYWO) funding

Successful applicants from Round 1 are not eligible to apply for Round 2 funding.

The aims of this competitive grant scheme are to:

  • Support organisational sustainability through capacity-building and resilience-focused activities.
  • Enhance the visibility and impact of youth work by helping organisations evidence their outcomes and attract further funding.
  • Promote alignment with cross-Government priorities, including:
  • The Anti-Racist Wales Action Plan
  • The LGBTQ+ Action Plan
  • Cymraeg 2050
  • Strengthen open access youth work provision, particularly where such services have been deprioritised due to a shift towards targeted funding.
  • Individual grants of £5,000 to £15,000 will be available to eligible organisations. Organisations will be able to apply for up to 3 strands of the grant, with a maximum amount available per strand of £5,000.
  • Guidance documents and application forms are attached to this message.
  • Closing date for receipt of applications is 9 January 2026.
