Team London: new volunteering grants
Howard Lake | 30 March 2011 | News
Two new tenders have been published for projects offering new volunteering opportunities in London within the Mayor’s Team London programme. Both contracts will be worth between £100,000 and £250,000. The closing date is 16 May 2011.
A Sporting Chance covers new volunteering opportunities to encourage children and young people at risk across London to take up sport as a step towards education, employment or training. Applications will be managed as part of the new bidding round to the PlaySport London Sports Participation Fund, which itself offers grants to help community projects across London increase participation in sport as a legacy of the 2012 Olympics:
