Aiming High Udecide has £30,000 for disabled young people across the city to spend on activities that will benefit them and their peers.

Udecide has consulted with disabled young people in the city and they have told us that:

• they would like to have more opportunities to get involved in activities in their free time. They say they are often bored and spend a lot of time on there own at home.

• they are interested in working with groups and organisations who will offer them the chance to meet with other disabled young people outside school time.

Udecide hosted two Grand Voting Events in February where disabled young people were able to vote on projects and spend the £30,000:

The first covered activities exclusively for disabled young people, and there was £15,000 to spend. Read the flyer for the event to find out more.

The second covered activities for all young people, and there was another £15,000 for diabled young people to spend on these activities. Read the flyer for this event to find out more.

The decision making took place at events on the 9 and 16 February 2011. Read the Project report (pdf, 452Kb)
