Constance Agyeman, head of Match Fund at v explained: “Being able to double the 
funding of a new volunteering project is an amazing boost for any programme. But
to generate truly new and innovative opportunities that appeal to a wider audience
of 16 to 25’s – funding is only part of the picture.

“The Innovation Workshops aim to help charities make compelling applications by 
better understanding v’s assessment priorities and creating exciting new initiatives
to produce high impact community benefit and change young peoples lives”.

Match Fund can double the budget of youth volunteering activities ranging from local
one-off projects to national high profile programmes. Funding is available until
February 2010.
