New Volunteering Fund

The New Volunteering Fund has now launched and will be managed by ECOTEC, PrimeTimers, Attend and CSV.

The Volunteering Fund will provide two distinct grant funding schemes:

• a local grant scheme aimed at supporting volunteering in health and social care. Awards will be made subject to applicants being connected at local level to commissioners.
• a national portfolio scheme - National organisations will be able to apply for more substantial awards to deliver more strategic or developmental volunteering programmes.
