Alec Dickson Trust is offering grants of up to £500 for volunteering or community service projects in the UK that are organised and run by young people aged 30 and younger to help them put their ideas into action and run projects that benefit the lives of others, particularly the most marginalised and disadvantaged.
Funding is for UK-based projects that:
• Encourage youth volunteering - particularly those which involve lots of volunteers and encourage people to continue volunteering long term.
• Have a positive impact on disadvantaged communities and individuals - particularly projects which address a specific need and have a long-lasting and meaningful effect on those it reaches.
• Are innovative and try to do things a bit differently, such as using social media creatively or using existing resources in new ways.
Applicants will need to provide a referee who knows them in a professional capacity, but who is not part of the volunteer project.
The trustees meet approximately once every three months to discuss applications.
The deadline for applications is 1 January 2025.
