For Volunteers’ Week (1-7 June 2015) the Volunteer Centre Manchester Team will be visiting a venue near you in East/North and South Manchester, running Volunteer Roadshows to encourage more people to sign up and volunteer with local organisations. We will also be inviting training providers and those organisations who can provide residents with potential job opportunities.

You can apply for up to £150 to help make your ideas a reality with the support of the British Red Cross and along the way you will learn about project management, team work and leadership.

The project must:
• be about helping people and responding to a need
• be neutral (not promoting religious or political ideologies)
• support the Fundamental Principles of the Red Cross movement and its mission
• be within budget (£150)
• be completed with 6-10 weeks
• be safe
