vcashpoint launches new funding round

v, the independent charity set up to encourage young people to volunteer, has launched the next application round of the vcashpoint scheme. vcashpoint is giving away £2,500 to 16-25 year olds in England with ideas for a London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games inspired volunteering project to improve their community. Eligible individuals can apply for a grant of up to £2,500 to bring their idea to life. To apply for a vcashpoint grant, you must be aged 16-25, live in England, and be up for running the project yourself. You’ll need to show how your project will help other people (not relatives), the environment or your community and how it has been inspired by London 2012.

The closing date for applications is 12 noon on the 6th September 2010. For further information, visit: http://vinspired.com/rewards/vcashpoint
