The Access to Volunteering Fund
This fund will support projects that overcome barriers to disabled people volunteering, that increase the number of disabled volunteers, or that widen the range of organisations offering support to disabled volunteers.How it works - As the Access to Volunteering Fund is a pilot, it will be trialing new and innovative approaches to grant funding and are keen to look at different ways of supporting disabled volunteers.
They are particularly interested in applications that lead to employment opportunities for volunteers, seek to use new technology or offer greater value for money and quality of service.

There are five deadlines for applications and five decision dates for awards. If you miss one deadline we will put your application into the next one. First deadline is 1 December.
