Funding Opportunity - Volunteering Support Grant

29th September 2013

Grants of up to £10,000 are now available to Scotland’s small to medium sized non-for-profit organisations. The purpose of the grant is to create new or enhanced volunteering projects, increasing the diversity of volunteers, especially those from disadvantaged groups and improving opportunities, skills and personal development through volunteering. The grant will also support third sector organisations to enhance their services and improve their capacity to deploy, support and train volunteers.

The grant could be used to increase the hours of an existing staff member or buy in support to help develop volunteering opportunities, management and practices. It could pay for the resources needed to recruit, support and deploy volunteers. It could help with volunteer expenses and training for staff, management committee and volunteers.
