Vcashpoint

vcashpoint offers grants of up to £2500 for young people aged 16 to 25 in England to set up their own volunteering projects in their local community. It is NOW OPEN for applications from young people (not youth workers or organisations). 16-25 year olds can apply online on www.vinspired.com.

vcashpoint will fund NEW projects or ideas which aim to expand or develop previously completed projects - these are projects which have been carried out once in the past and where the applicant wants to develop the idea further and do something different for a short, defined period of time, involving new young volunteers. All projects must create NEW volunteering opportunities for 16-25 year olds, be youth-led, take place in England and benefit a chosen community.

If the young person applying for funding is a youth worker, the project must have no link to their area of work and must be carried out outside of their working hours. vcashpoint must be the only source of funding for the project.
