GwirVol is a uniquely Welsh, diverse partnership between the private, public and voluntary sectors, designed to promote, support and drive forward youth volunteering initiatives.
As well as providing advisory assistance and signposting services, the partnership will deliver grants, through local grant panels of young people, to encourage youth volunteering projects in their local area.
The scheme currently provides the following grant strands:
- Creating Opportunities - project funding of up to £10,000 for activities that will deliver a wide range of new and innovative volunteering experiences for young people aged 16-25.
- Promotion - project funding of up to £3,000 to promote volunteering to, and for, young people aged 16-25, eg through promotional events, websites, exhibitions, or visits.
- Millennium Volunteers: For organisations looking to recognise the commitment young people give to volunteering through offering the 200 hour award of excellence. Millennium Volunteers grant applications can be for up to a maximum amount of £10,000.
Organisations from the voluntary, public and private sectors located in Wales may apply for advisory and financial support through the scheme.
