The Zone, in partnership with Promoting Children in Plymouth, manages the Youth Hardship fund. The fund was started in 2012 to provide Young People, who are experiencing extreme financial hardship, with grants when statutory sources of funding are not available to them. The Zone is responsible for distributing the funding to the young people that need it. To date the fund has paid out over £55,000; with grants ranging from as little as £2.60 to over £200.

These funds form part of a broad range of grant funding available to organisations from Devon Community Foundation to run projects that support people in Plymouth.

Applications for funding should be made via the Devon Community Foundation Grants page Small Grants of up to £5,000 can be applied for on an ongoing basis and there are several funds available, including the Trinity House Fund and the Community Grants Fund.
