Grants of up to 37,000 GBP are available to civil society organisations supporting the priorities of the European Year of Volunteering 2011.

The purpose of this dedicated year is to support member states and their voluntary sector organisations and to facilitate the development of volunteering across England. The Office for Civil Society (OCS) has identified four national priorities relevant to the Big Society ideals and is seeking organisations to deliver initiatives supporting these priorities. Grants will be made available to five organisations, or consortia of organisations to deliver projects addressing five themes, each with a focus on two specific months. A further grant will be made available to one organisation to diffuse the learning which will emerge from the supported activities.

The deadline for applications is 7 February 2011. To find out more please email [email protected] stating which opportunity you are interested in.
