vcashpoint is the funding initiative offering young people the cash they need to turn their ideas for volunteering projects into a reality. Designed by v20, v's youth advisory board, the youth fund offers grants of up to £2500 for 16-25s in England to set up their own volunteering projects in their local community.
vcashpoint funds NEW projects or ideas which aim to expand or develop previously completed projects - these are projects which have been carried out once in the past and where the applicant wants to develop the idea further and do something different for a short, defined period of time, involving new young volunteers. All projects must create NEW volunteering opportunities for 16-25 year olds, be youth-led, take place in England and benefit a chosen community.
vcashpoint runs in rounds, however you can contact your local vteam anytime to talk about your ideas and get help funding your idea.
