FUNDING is to be provided to youth groups in Brentwood through a council-led scheme.

Organisations can apply for between £1,000 and £2,000 to help improve the lives of teenagers in the borough.

The project has been set up by Brentwood Council's Youth Strategy Panel and the deadline for applications is February 14.
