June 2010 - Final chance to get grants to help disabled people volunteer

 Access to Volunteering: The pilot, which is funded by The Office for Civil Society, is now in its last two rounds of grant-giving.

The remaining deadlines for applications are 28th June and 6th September 2010.


Successful awardees are able to apply for repeat funding subject to providing suitable monitoring feedback and rollout potential, although the priority will be new applicants.

To date, 95 organisations have received grants of between £250 and £5,000 in the three test regions of Greater London, West Midlands and the North West. Current projects include helping disabled people to learn new skills, play a greater role in their communities and be active in the workplace.


Applications can be submitted online, by e-mail, phone or post. In particular, we are interested in projects that help remove the attitudinal barriers that sometimes prevent disabled people from volunteering. We are also interested in applications from organisations new to volunteering.

The website: www.accesstovolunteering.org has details of how to apply alongside a list of successful bids, or phone our helpline for more information on: 03000 123 346.
