New £6m Fund Will Help Young People To Volunteer (England)

The Government has announced the launch of a new £6m Youth Social Action 
Journey Fund.

The aim of the fund is to encourage more young people to volunteer and 
will pay for extra places for 10- to 20-year-olds in existing youth 
groups, and will encourage businesses and charities to set up new ways 
youngsters can take part in activities for the good of their communities.

Young people will also be encouraged to join national organisations such 
as the Scouts, Brownies, Guides and the Duke of Edinburgh's Award scheme.

The fund is open for applications from charities, social enterprises and 
businesses that already run high-quality programmes for young people.

The closing date for applications is the 17th November 2013.
