Vcashpoint second round in December

v cashpoint' 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, v cashpoint can help young people turn their ideas for volunteering projects into reality!

Round one of vcashpoint attracted nearly 500 applications and saw 72 young people from all over England receiving funding for their own projects. Round two of v cashpoint will be up and running in December this year.

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.
