If the applicant is not eligible for financial support, (e.g. applicant has not applied within four week timeframe) they could still receive mentor support.</li><li>Age range eligible for YES applicants is 12-25 years old, and events need to be available for this age range.  Older people can be part of the organising crew, but the applicant who attends YES meetings must be under 25.</li><li>Events need to be safe, alcohol and other-drug free, and held within the Nelson rating zone.</li><ul><li>Any events for young people, from skate comps, after-ball parties, chess comps, gigs, fun-run, an amazing race, promo events, environmental cleanup, youth rights events, seminars, performing arts, workshops, film festival, breakdancing, hip hop, environmental forums, political forums, religious rallies, rock concerts, dance parties or other events !!!</li></ul><li>An event must have appropriate safety and security measures in place to qualify for YES funding, eg HYPE, Security, youth workers, parents, teachers, tutors, St. Johns, Fire crew, Maori Wardens, Event Staff, Police etc.  Health and Safety are priorities, so that events are as safe and successful as possible. </li><li>Successful YES applicants are required to acknowledge NYC support at the event and in the promotion of the event, and need to provide copies of YES pamphlets at events. </li></ul><h3 style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: -moz-initial; -moz-background-origin: -moz-initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: -moz-initial;"> If you want to apply to YES for your event, contact NicolaMercer @ Nelson City Council 03 546 0217  join up this email address: nicola.mercer @ ncc.govt.nz at least 4 weeks before your event Keep all your receipts for any expenses in case u need to make a claim. Here's some Event Planning Guidelines to check out below...</h3> You can also download: Planning Safe Events Guide -  Safety Guidelines for Event Managers  (A Nelson Safer Community Council project) - pdf copy 785K And:  "<a href="http://203.86.194.7/Gems/healthaction/PlanningEventsChecklist.pdf">Planning Safe Events Checklist ("Planning Safe Events Checklist 2")</a> " - pdf copy 194K  <h1 style="text-align: center;" align="center"><a name="_Toc194217496">Event Planning Guidelines</a></h1>1      Budget <ul><li>A YES mentor can provide an Event Planning Checklist to help the applicant work out all of the costs involved in the event. Include any income (eg money from ticket sales or sponsorship). </li><li>A good way to start your budget is to work out how much money you might make. </li></ul><ol><li>Take the lowest number of people who you think will come, e.g. 100 people</li><li>Multiply this number of people by the price of the tickets,e.g. 100 people x $8 each = $800</li></ol><ul><li>This will give you an idea of how much money you could bring in to cover your costs.   Ideally your budgeted costs would be lower than this, (say $600 on the above example) making it more likely that you will make a profit, or if less people attend you would still cover your costs.</li><li>Work out what things you need to pay for before or after the event. This will give you an idea of how much cash you need before the event, and how much afterwards.</li><li>Keep all your receipts because NCC will need to see them if an applicant claims a YES payment.</li><li>Choose someone responsible and trustworthy to be in charge of all cash (from tickets sales, door sales, sponsorship etc). You might need to set up a bank account, or use an existing one, to keep your money safe. </li></ul>Your YES Mentor can help you work through Worksheet 2: Budget2       Sponsorship <ul><li>Getting sponsorship from a business or organisation can help keep costs down. </li><li>Look for sponsors early!  They might need a few months to make a decision about larger sums of money.  You can get in touch with them by writing or contacting them directly.     </li><li>Make a clear arrangement about what you will offer them in exchange for their help, e.g. include their name in your posters and flyers.  </li></ul><table class="MsoTableGrid" style="border: medium none ; border-collapse: collapse;" border="1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"> <tbody><tr style="height: 11.65pt;"> <td style="border: 1pt solid windowtext; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 152.85pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="204"> Sponsorship possibilities </td> <td style="border-style: solid solid solid none; border-color: windowtext windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: 1pt 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 191.15pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="255"> Contact details </td> <td style="border-style: solid solid solid none; border-color: windowtext windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: 1pt 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 82.1pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="109"> Who </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 11.65pt;"> <td style="border-style: none solid solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 152.85pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="204"> </td> <td style="border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 191.15pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="255"> </td> <td style="border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 82.1pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="109"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 11.65pt;"> <td style="border-style: none solid solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 152.85pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="204"> </td> <td style="border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 191.15pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="255"> </td> <td style="border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 82.1pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="109"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 11.65pt;"> <td style="border-style: none solid solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 152.85pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="204"> </td> <td style="border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 191.15pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="255"> </td> <td style="border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 82.1pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="109"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 11.65pt;"> <td style="border-style: none solid solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 152.85pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="204"> </td> <td style="border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 191.15pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="255"> </td> <td style="border-style: none solid solid none; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext -moz-use-text-color; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt medium; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 82.1pt; height: 11.65pt;" valign=top width="109"> </td> </tr> <tr style="height: 28pt;"> <td colspan="3" style="border-style: none solid solid; border-color: -moz-use-text-color windowtext windowtext; border-width: medium 1pt 1pt; padding: 0cm 5.4pt; width: 426.1pt; height: 28pt;" valign=top width="568"> Notes:</td> </tr> </tbody></table> 3      Venue<ul><li><h4>Book a venue well ahead of time as many places get booked in advance.
