VOLUNTEERING GRANTS TO IMPROVE THE LIVES OF YOUNG PEOPLE

In partnership with Thrive LDN and the #iWill Fund, Team London are offering grants of £5,000 – £10,000 to community groups, small charities and voluntary sector organisations to run projects which encourage young Londoners to volunteer or take part in social action.
The projects can focus on any area of volunteering or social action such as sports, arts, media, inter-generational, environment or music, but should also encourage good mental health and wellbeing. The majority of young participants will be new to volunteering and come from groups that are disproportionately affected by mental health, such as those within the criminal justice system or young refugees or asylum seekers.
The closing date for applications is 5 January 2018.
