VCashpoint

Young people aged 16-25 can apply to up to £2500 to run a new volunteering project that benefits a community of their choice.

Vcashpoint gives young people the opportunity to take complete ownership of their project and to get involved in something that they are passionate about. It also aims to raise the positive profile of young people and to break down the barriers that they face.

The next round of vcashpoint is Olympic and Paralympics themed but that doesn’t mean we want to just fund sports projects. If your project fits into one of the Olympic and Paralympics themes then you can apply. They are Sport, Culture, Environment, Health and Education.

What opportunities does it offer?

Applicants can carry out any type of volunteering opportunities they like as long as there is a clear volunteering role and they are benefitting a specific community and it fits within the themes and values of the Olympic and Paralympics Games.

Vcashpoint gives young people the chance to carry out a youth-led project whilst developing their skills and confidence. It also gives you the opportunity to take part in something that you might not normally have the chance to do, whilst adding something to your CV to enhance employability. 

How to get involved

Vcashpoint currently has Round 9 open for application and the deadline is 12pm on 6 September 10. Anyone wishing to apply should go to the Vcashpoint section here, and read the guidance carefully before applying. You can apply online or download an application form.
