Second window for Social Action Fund

The Social Action Fund, managed by the Social Investment Business on behalf of the government's Office for Civil Society, aims to inspire organisations to create new social action opportunities through people giving what they have, whether this is time, money, assets, knowledge or specific skills.

There are two themes: Encourage people to come together in their locality to support each other, and Focus on the different life stages of volunteering. Grants are a minimum of £100,000, England only.

The second application window is now open, with applications needed by noon 3rd February, http://www.thesocialinvestmentbusiness.org/saf4/.
