The Voluntary Action Fund has announced that the next closing date for applications for grants to support the European Year of Volunteering is the 15th September 2011. To celebrate the 2011 European Year of Volunteering, VAF with funding from the Scottish Government, is dedicating small grants to promote and celebrate the work of volunteers in Scotland. In addition, free training to help increase the skills of members, staff or volunteers will be offered to groups applying for a grant. The grant is open to community groups and voluntary organisations with an annual income below £250,000; however groups with an income below £100,000 will be considered a priority. Grants will be awarded for activities that clearly contribute to: increasing the number of people engaged in volunteering; increasing the diversity of volunteers especially those from disadvantaged groups; and volunteers feeling valued and supported. |
