vcashpoint’ is the funding for young people aged 16 to 25
‘vcashpoint’ is the funding initiative for young people aged 16 to 25 in England, who want to set up a volunteering project in their local community. By providing grants of up to £2500, vcashpoint can help young people turn their ideas for volunteering projects into reality!
Round one of vcashpoint launched on Wednesday 28 February and is now closed. Thank you to those who helped young people with their applications. We are now busily assessing all applications and will soon be contacting everyone who applied to tell them the results of the assessments!
Round two of vcashpoint will be up and running in Autumn this year. To make sure you don’t miss out on the next round of vcashpoint applications, 16-25 year olds can register for vcashpoint updates on vinspired. You can also get the latest vcashpoint news by signing up to our vbulletin. In the mean time, you can use the tools below to get young people thinking ‘Outside the Box’.
‘Outside the Box’
To get the creative juices flowing with volunteering project ideas, youth workers across England have been using a brand new limited edition brainstorming kit called ‘Outside the Box’ to help inspire fresh ideas for local volunteering projects. Outside the Box was piloted regionally with a number of youth groups and has proven to be an effective way to engage young people and help them identify potential volunteering project ideas.
The good thing is that it is not essential to have an Outside the Box in order to run an ideas generating session with young people. Download the vinspirer’s notes for an easy step-by-step guide to running your session.
