Volunteering Support Fund Now Open!

The Voluntary Action Fund (VAF) is now accepting applications for its Volunteering Support Fund.

Third sector organisations can apply for up to £30,000 to:

 

·         create new or enhanced volunteering projects;
·         increase the diversity of volunteers, especially those from disadvantaged groups; and
·         improve opportunities, skills and personal development through volunteering. 

The Fund will also support third sector organisations to enhance their services and improve their capacity to deploy, support and train volunteers. Grants will be made for up to 12 months of activity. There are two different routes to achieving the Fund’s outcomes:

·         Volunteering Support Grant – Up to £10,000 for an individual organisation.
·         Volunteering Support Cluster – Up to £30,000 for a cluster group of four to five organisations working together.

Full details, Guidance Notes and Application Forms can be found on VAF’s website at http://www.voluntaryactionfund.org.uk/.
