How To Apply
If you’re aged under 30 and want to run a volunteering project in the community that meets the criteria we set out here, please fill in an application form to tell us more about your project, the need it addresses, the activities you plan to deliver, and how it will support and encourage youth volunteering.
You can download an application form on the left.
Please send completed application forms to: alecdicksontrust@gmail.com
The Trust’s board of trustees review applications and decide which to fund on a quarterly basis. We let unsuccessful applicants know by email after each quarterly meeting. For applications we’d like to fund, a trustee contacts the referee and (subject to a satisfactory reference) will inform the applicant they’ve been successful and send a cheque for the requested funds. Sometimes a trustee may contact you to find out more about your project if we like the sound of it, but need more information to make a decision.
If you have any questions about applying, please read our Frequently asked questions and Top tips for fundraising applicants. If your question remains unanswered, please email alecdicksontrust@gmail.com
Good luck with your application!
