What
is the funding for?
The aim of the funding programme is to help local, grassroots
organisations build on their skills around recruiting and
supporting their volunteers. Examples of work that could be
funded:
• Training programmes for voluntary management committees
in planning and managing volunteers
• Visits to more established organisations to share
their experiences of what works well with volunteering.
• Consultation with volunteers so that organisations
know more about what volunteers need and value
• Publications, videos or interactive software programmes
to develop volunteer’s skills.
How
much money is available?
The programme will provide grants of between £500 and
£2,000.
Who
can apply?
The grants are aimed at small, local groups with limited funding.
Groups will be considered if they have an income of below
£25,000 per year, a signed constitution, a bank account
and an independent referee who can vouch for the organisation.
