MVSO New Charges for Training Events
MVSO will now have a basic charge of £10 per person for attending
any of our seminars unless stated as FREE of Charge. We are sorry for
this, but we are sure you will understand with the costs of training,
venue hire and refreshments it can all be very expensive. We have discussed
this issue of payment for a long time but sadly we need to start charging
to try and cover some of our costs.
Please do not hesitate to contact us should
your group have a problem in this payment, we would hate for you to miss
out on a seminar that could be vital for your group.

VOLUNTARY ACTION FUND
New Grants for Volunteering Projects
The Voluntary Action Fund (VAF) has confirmed that its flagship volunteering
investment fund is once more open for business.
The Volunteering Scotland Grant Scheme (VSGS) can provide grants for up to three years for projects that attract harder to reach volunteers. The philosophy behind VSGS is simple: that with dedicated resources, organisations can develop and sustain high quality volunteering opportunities for people who need more support to get involved; and that with this extra resource of volunteers, the organisation can enrich its services.
Applications for grant are now invited. Substantial grants
for one, two or three years are available, as well as one-off small grants
of £5000 to smaller organisations.
To find out more visit the VAF website on: www.voluntaryactionfund.org.uk
or phone the office on 01383 620780.
