Renfrewshire Council

Celebrating Renfrewshire is a fund designed by and for young people, where young people aged 12-25 will have a direct say on which projects are funded in their local area.

This guide gives you more information about the fund and how to apply. Applications for Celebrating Renfrewshire funding are currently closed. The fund will open to new applications in April 2025.

All young people aged 12-25 who live, go to school or work in Renfrewshire can vote on the projects they want to see delivered in their Local Partnership area. We will do this in partnership with community groups, organisations and schools. If you are a group or organisation and have young people who wish to vote you can contact celebratingren@renfrewshire.gov.uk for a support pack and voting guidance for all your young people.

The voting results will then be announced at an event which will be organised by young people once all voting has been completed.
