‘eVolve – Young People Volunteering', part of the Volunteer Centre, is inviting applications for grants up to £1,500 for any organisation or youth group in the Wansbeck area, with the aim being to widen participation and volunteering within them by anyone under the age of 25.
The funding can be for any activity or equipment that could be used to increase membership, participation or volunteering i.e. funding could be used to buy DJ equipment as long as the aim will be to enable more people to access it, or to train more people within the group how to use it.
Applications should be submitted by the young people who are members of the group. The applications go to our grants panel, made up of local young people, who assess them and decide on the outcome. A number of grants have already been given out, and the panel meets on a monthly basis.
