Social Action Fund launch - with funding available

[Lucie Stephens]

The social action fund aims to 'inspire organisations to create new social action opportunities through people giving what they have, be that their time, their money, or their assets, knowledge and skills'. One key area they are looking to support is activity that 'encourages people to come together in their locality to support each other. Some priority will be given to people that don't traditionally get involved as volunteers'. They say they are particularly interested in 'models that offer people the opportunity to give time and/ or money to activities which delivers a public benefit and complements the public sector'.    

The fund will launch on 6th October and deadline for applications is noon on 2nd November.
