TWO New Forest groups are hoping their applications for grants totalling £15,620 will be successful.

Sway Craze wants to fund two youth workers to provide activities, information and advice for youngsters living in the New Forest village.

They have requested £5,690 from Hampshire County Council to help cover the costs. The New Forest and Waterside Additional Needs Activity Programme is also hoping that its grant application for £9,930 will be granted too.

Members of the group need the money to cover the cost of two youth workers who will carry out two sessions per week supporting projects for youngsters with learning difficulties and disabilities.
