The Small Grants for Volunteering Programme is now open for applications. Volunteer involving organisations with an annual income of less than £100,000 may apply. Grants up to £1,100 may be available. The programme aims to:

1. Promote active citizenship and diversity and make volunteering more inclusive by increasing activity within groups under-represented in the volunteering populations.
2. Increase the number of volunteers, particularly those new to volunteer activity.
3. Support the development of good practice and ensure a wide range of volunteering opportunities that enhance learning for volunteers, and other benefits.
4. Support projects that benefit individuals and communities experiencing disadvantage, including communities of place and interest, and contribute to New Targeting Social Need (NTSN).

This Programme is funded by the Department of Social Development.
