The second phase of the Social Action Fund will open for applications next week. The fund is open to any organisation with an annual turnover of at least £100,000 and the minimum grant that can be applied for is £100,000.
Priority will be given to programmes that encourage people to volunteer in their communities, particularly those who do not normally volunteer. It will also focus on schemes that increase volunteering by schoolchildren, university graduates and professionals on the point of retirement, and which encourage people who have attended the National Citizen Service to continue contributing to their communities.
Applications will close in early February.
