7 Oct 2016 - 11:47 by michelle.foster

The Give More Get More Fund is a partnership between Nesta and the Office for Civil Society which will support organisations to develop and test intensive volunteering placements for people during, or as they approach, retirement, that create clear impact alongside public services. For example, you might be a hospital that can offer placements for three months for people to radically improve patients’ well-being and outcomes, or a charity who can create intensive placements for people in schools to improve literacy and attainment.
