Do you have a bright idea to help your own community? It could be...

• helping to clean your local river because it's full of shopping trolleys, rubbish and wellie boots.
• getting a skatepark built in your local area.

Need a bit of cash to kick start this bright idea? Then the Young Scot Action Fund is what you're after.

The Young Scot Action fund supports ideas and projects that help the community young people live in.
You come up with the idea, tell us about it on the application form, and soon money could be winging its way to you, to put your idea into action.
