Want to support young people in your local community?
We are working to support long term 18-24 year olds back into employment!
Working across Medway, Swale, Thanet and Dover, we are matching young people with fantastic volunteers, who are supporting them into training, work experience and employment or enterprise.
In order to do this we need the support of amazing local volunteer mentors who are willing to share their knowledge and experience in helping young people to realise and reach their full potential.
Do you, your colleagues, friends or staff members have the time to support local young people to reach their potential?
If so, would you please promote the volunteering vacancy with your colleagues, and also any partners or friends that you feel would be interested! We are also available to discuss the possibility of starting
staff volunteering programmes; are always on hand to come to team meetings and or individual conversations for anyone that may be interested in the role.
Please find attached the volunteer role description for promotion with your peers. Our volunteers are imperative in supporting young people across the county, and this is an incredible opportunity to
undertake a rewarding role and give something back.
If you or anyone you know has any questions or queries then please do not hesitate to contact me on 07436797258/ [email protected].

Funding
Pilot Childcare Investment Readiness Fund Launched in England
The Childcare Investment Readiness Fund (CIRF) is a £500,000 pilot fund, managed by the Social Investment Business on behalf of the Department for Education, to support
Early Years and Childcare Social Enterprises looking to expand their presence in the early years and childcare market.
The aim of the Fund is to help Early Years and Childcare Social Enterprises (EYCSEs) become better equipped to secure new forms of investment.
To be eligible, the proposed work must be designed to prepare the EYCSE to raise repayable investment of at least £100,000 to help expand their services into new
locations. The funded activities must be carried out over a period of six to nine months and be completed before 31 March 2016.
The Fund offers both business support and financial support in the form of grants of between £25,000 and £50,000. Grants will be awarded primarily to fund revenue costs. It
is expected that around 15 grants will be awarded.
Organisations must first register their interest in the fund before accessing and completing the application form on the SIB website.
Applications must be formally submitted by email by an approved CIRF provider with an EYCSE. The application is a joint application although the CIRF will formally contract with
the EYCSE, if the application is successful.
The deadline for applications is 17 July 2015 (noon).
