Welcome to Youth PB 2025!

A total of £204,159 is available to local organisations, split between the following funding pots:

• £49,808 to support  Youth project applications up to £1000.
• £124,351 to support Locality project applications up to £1000.
• £30,000 to support Community Wealth Building applications up to £2000.

You may submit an application to the Community Wealth Building Fund in addition to either Locality or Youth PB this year, but it must be for a different project.

Applications will open on Monday 25th August and close on Monday 15th September. In the meantime, you should ensure that you have read and understood the criteria for the fund(s) you would like to apply for, along with the application guidance.

If you have any questions, we'd love to see you at a launch event where we'll be supporting you to navigate the website, create an account, troubleshoot applications and generally answer any of your queries. 

Application Review

September 16, 2025 - October 19, 2025

Thank you to everyone who has submitted an application!

Applications have now closed, and are being reviewed ahead of the public vote opening.

Applications are checked by volunteer community reviewers, who read all applications to ensure they meet the relevant critera. Any applications that don't meet the criteria will not progress to the public vote. 

We may contact you during this period to confirm information or ask for additional information, so please keep checking your inbox (and junk/spam folders!) just in case. 

All applicants will be notified via email once the status of their application has been confirmed.

How to vote

Youth PB voting is restricted to young people only, and you'll be able to vote at school or in another youth space using either your 16 digit Young Scot number (as your username and password), or temporary login information shared by a teacher or North Ayrshire Council worker. To cast your vote:

• Log in to the site
• Select the locality (the area) that you live  in below. You will only be able to vote in one area, so make sure you click on the right one!
• Each locality has a funding pot allocated based on population. Your vote will determine how this funding is distributed between the projects in your area.
• Review all of the projects in your area to decide which three you would most like to see funded.
• To cast your vote, select your favourite three projects from the list in your locality and click 'Submit Ballot'.
