ECORYS and Department of Health have announced the launch of the fourth Health and Social Care Volunteering Fund (HSCVF) local grant scheme 2013.
What is available?
The fund aims to enhance capacity in the health; public health and social care volunteering field and help organisations grow and develop. This is why HSCVF provides a combination of grant funding and capacity building support to organisations.
This year, as Skipton Building Society celebrates its 160th anniversary, they have allocated 160 donations of £500 to help fund development for grassroots organisations in our communities.
The idea behind the Grassroots Giving campaign is to help community organisations, or groups, who only have access to limited funding from elsewhere. For this reason, registered charities will not be able to request funding via Grassroots Giving.
Public Health England (PHE) are developing a voluntary and community sector (VCS) engagement strategy and are welcoming input from voluntary organisations.
They are currently building on comments already provided about VCS as advocates and mediators for public involvement, but would like some more specific and general information to get a feel for the best framework within which PHE can engage with voluntary organisations.
About the role
Many people in Manchester are finding it harder to cope with the pressures they face: making ends meet financially; getting and staying in a job and caring for children and loved ones. The stresses that people are dealing with increases the chance that they will experience poor mental health. Manchester Mind knows that there are even more challenging times ahead. Manchester Mind are looking for new trustees to join their Board to help to address those challenges and ensure that people experiencing mental health issues have the right support.
Manchester Mind is looking to recruit young Trustees (aged 18-25) and would welcome applications from people with skills, experience, time and enthusiasm to join their Board of Trustees.
