deadline - 1 September 2005
Grants of between �500 and �2,000 are available to small, local, grassroots organisations to build on their skills around recruiting and supporting their volunteers. Grants can be used for a wide range of activities including:
- training programmes for voluntary management committees in planning and managing volunteering
- the cost of professional support or consultancy to help develop useful volunteer policies or training packs
- visits to more established organisations to share their experience of what works well with volunteering
- consultation with volunteers so that organisations know more about what volunteers need and value
- setting up systems to remove the barriers that have stopped some people from volunteering in the past (such as people from black and ethnic minority groups, people with disabilities and young people)
- publications, videos or interactive software programmes to develop skills in volunteers' management
- subscriptions to volunteering newsletters and to agencies such as Volunteer Development Scotland.
Only groups with annual incomes under �25,000 are eligible to apply. For more information, go to www.voluntaryactionfund.org.uk/downloads/go4-volunteering.pdf [PDF 38kb] or tel: 01383 620 780 or email: [email protected]
