SITA Trust Launches New Young Person’s Volunteering Fund 4/6/10
Posted on Wednesday, April 14, 2010
SITA Trust has launched a new fund to support volunteering opportunities for young people. The Young Person’s Volunteering Fund has been created to assist young people aged 14-25 to volunteer their time to create or enhance facilities that can be enjoyed by the wider community.
Grants of up to £10,000 are available for each project undertaken.
Applicants must be able to demonstrate that:
- young people will be fully involved in the design and development of the project;
- the project is compliant with the rules of the Landfill Communities Fund; and
- the project takes into account the nine principles of volunteering as set out by the Youth Action Network.
Projects must take place within a SITA Trust ‘funding zone’. A funding zone is anywhere within a three mile radius of a qualifying SITA UK waste processing location. A location postcode checker is provided on the SITA Trust website.
The first deadline for applications to the new fund is 4 June 2010.
There will be two further deadlines in 2010: 9 August and 11 October.
