Final Chance for Grants to Help Disabled People Volunteer
Access to Volunteering, The Office for Civil Society's pilot funding scheme to help disabled people volunteer is now in its last two rounds of grant-giving.
The remaining deadlines for applications are 28th June and 6th September 2010.
To date, 95 organisations have received grants of between £250 and £5,000 in the three test regions of Greater London, West Midlands and the North West. Current projects include helping disabled people to learn new skills, play a greater role in their communities and be active in the workplace.
Applications can be submitted online, by e-mail, phone or post. Particularly welcome are projects that help remove the attitudinal barriers that sometimes prevent disabled people from volunteering as well as applications from organisations new to volunteering.
Successful awardees are able to apply for repeat funding subject to providing suitable monitoring feedback and rollout potential, although the priority will be new applicants.
Please visit the website for more information or to view a list of successful bids (opens in new window).
Alternatively phone the helpline for more information on 03000 123 346.
