Volunteer It Yourself, working in partnership with County Sports Partnerships (CSP), is offering sports clubs and organisations in eight CSP regions the opportunity to pilot a new national volunteering and facility development project.
Funded through Sport England and sponsor Wickes, the project will see at least 15 sports clubs across the country benefit from delivering a community facilities renovation project, and in so doing, creating great experience for local young people.
We will work with these eight CSPs, chosen strategically against a number of criteria, with a deadline of 19th July for submission of the Expressions of Interest as part the second round of the programme. The overall objective across the two rounds is to develop 15 new VIY projects nationally, and in the first round 8 projects were successful with their application.

Crowdfund London gives you the opportunity to pitch your ideas, big and small, for built projects that will make your local area even better.
Communities across London are coming together to create, fund and launch projects that matter to them; from allotments and markets to new uses for vacant buildings or ambitious plans for green infrastructure, Londoners are taking control to improve the city for everyone.
Now it’s your chance to play a part in improving where you live.
The Mayor of London is looking for innovative ideas that benefit the whole neighbourhood and show community support through a spirited crowdfunding campaign. The best could attract a pledge of up to £50,000 to support your local campaign and help bring your idea to life.
Join us for this interactive workshop and you will:

• Find out what the Mayor is offering and what you need to do to get involved
• Learn from successful projects and access key advice / lessons to ensure your idea can succeed
• Get insight into the exciting journey you’ll begin and what you can expect from running a crowdfunding campaign and delivering a local project

Whether this is your first time creating a project or you’re a seasoned community organiser, this event will tell you everything you need to know to join in and have the best chance of attracting a pledge from the Mayor.
