Funding - vcashpoint


vcashpoint is a funding initiative for young people who want to set up a voluntary project in their own community. By providing grants up to £2500, vcashpoint can help young people turn their ideas for voluntary projects into reality.



vcashpoint will fund new projects or ideas which aim to expand or develop projects which have been carried out once in the past, involving new young volunteers. All projects must create at least three new volunteering opportunities for 16-25 year olds, be youth-led, take place in England and benefit a chosen community. vcashpoint must be the only source of funding for the project.

Bring your ideas to life and transform your community. Use your skills to do something inspirational.


Youth Opportunities Fund

When the government did a survey about local facilities for young people in 2005, teenagers agreed that they'd like to have a bigger say in what projects were given the go ahead. So to make sure that your voice is heard, the Youth Opportunity and Youth Capital Funds have been introduced, giving teens the opportunity to give their local facilities a bit of a makeover.

There’s £173m available in Youth Funds until March 2011. The money is available to young people aged 13 – 19 (or to 25 for those with additional needs) who want to develop their own project in West Sussex.
